Next Total War Game

[Dorozhand]

In what setting would you guys really like the next Total War game to take place?

Personally, I would love a game set during the Chinese Warring States Period. The era is perfect, with great feudal kingdoms and dynastic lines fighting one another with massive infantry and cavalry armies numbering in the millions of men, across a varied landscape with many great and cultured cities. It could include such awesomeness as riverine naval combat, the repeating crossbow, and the Great Walls. The rise of competing social and administrative doctrines like Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism, as well as military ideas such as those in the Art of War, the shift from chariots to mounted cavalry, and from bronze to iron weaponry, as well as agricultural reforms and the dynamics of land ownership, would make for a richly varied tech tree. The collapse of the Jin state into Wei, Zhao, and Han, the barbarian states of the west, north, and south, as well as the absorption of the smaller states by the larger ones would create varied power struggles that wouldn't be the same in any two games. Shoot, there could even be a BI style expansion about the fall of the Han Dynasty and the rise of the Three Kingdoms.

What are your thoughts?
