Total war: North and south next title?

[Liberator]

What about west Africa shortly before colonization? There, you have Islam, Christianity, and Animism all interacting. Similarly to Japan, you have various statelets trying to modernize and assume more power which means they'd be interacting with the various European trade posts in the area. Also, you'd have Liberia as a state which could become independent of the American Colonization Society. And by having it take place in the 1800s, the slave trade is mostly over so one controversial issue wouldn't have to be handled by the game.

Perhaps at the end of the game, Britain, France, and Germany could start their colonization and the player would have to figure out how to survive. Possibly similar to the Mongol/Timurid invasions at the end of the MTW2 except they'd probably have a greater technology edge.

Sounds interesting, but several things in this scenario are flawed/unclear:
-What timeframe do you think of? 'Shortly before coloniatization' would be around 1500.
-Christianity did not existed in Africa before colonialzation (except in Egypt and Ethiopia)
-it would be rather Spain (probably not really, given its focus on latin america), Portugal and the Nederlands (besides the obvious two, England and France) to be active as colonial powers, Germany did not played a significant role in Africa until the German Empire was created in 1871, same goes for Italy.
