Hello fellow EB players

[Arjos]

Really hope not, I'm sick of 2 titles, Shogun 2 was acceptable due to the improvements in gameplay and AI...
I'd like new games to revolve around new regions and timeframes...

Most of all with EBII coming out one day, R2TW, at least for me, will be irrelevant XD

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

There are plenty of regions and time frames that would make for interesting gameplay. I'm no expert on Chinese history but wouldn't there be great opportunities there? Also, a Rise of Islam campaign might be pretty fun, detailing the Arab wars against the Byzantines and Sassanids.

I would like to see total war game exploring Renascence it would give for one of the best campaigns in tw game yet

M2 sought to cover this timeframe, sort of, as they did several times and places, but they kind of fell short on all fronts. =[

[Ca Putt]

agree, the 2 years per turn really gave me the feeling they made it to let an average game also feature the renascence.

btw there is a cute little mod about the italian wars. There are only few new units but it does make the whole setting come more to life than the late M2TW campaign. Also nice is the English civil war mod(tho somewhat after 1500)

My wish would be a for a 'pre-EB' era game, not a R:TW II. About 560 BCE to 280 BCE. This would start with the rise of the Persian (Achaemenid) Empire, cover the entire Greek Classical period, ending with the rise of Macedon and the wars of the Diodochi.

The map would not need to extend west of Emporion or north of Camulosadae, so Spain, and north-west Africa west of Ippone would not be on the map, nor would western Gaul. Only the southeast corner of Britain would be visible. Most of the northern steppe would also be cut off, Gava-Yazyga, Bin-kath and Sulek would be the northernmost towns. I'd also cut off the southern part of the map, everything south of Diospolis-Megale. There would be no Casse, Lusotann, Sweboz, Sauromatae, Saka or Saba factions, instead there would be more Gallic, Etruscan, Italian, Greek, Skythian and Iranian factions. The map, because it is reduced in area, would be larger in scale, meaning more space between the towns.

I kind of doubt your time of period will work very well Titus Marcellus Scato

Also, a Rise of Islam campaign might be pretty fun, detailing the Arab wars against the Byzantines and Sassanids.

I don't see that one happening. Just one war which lasted for a few years can't be properly modelled in a TW game.
