The next game in the total war series?

[Intranetusa]

I'm not particularly optimistic about the heroes either though, but if Tom Cruise is in, I don't see what could go wrong

But Dances with the Last Avatar was such a great movie! It'll at least be as historical as Roman hash-assassin ninjas and flaming pigs in R:TW

This sounds much better, although I'm still skeptical and I do NOT want this turning into an RPG.

"Sparta: Total War" hack n' slash RPG anyone?
