    The last major piece of content? Maybe, but they have stated that it will not be the last DLC for the game.

    I'd say the future is another faction pack and another unit pack or two. I'm perfectly happy to be proven wrong of course.

    You probably are right, though of course Im expecting some sort of big expansion pack, but this is probably the last addon campaign we will get.

    What else is left there from this period (and location)? Either roll back in time to Alexander or forward to the barbarian hordes.

    I want to say the Roman wars in Germania or in Dacia but Im not sure those were of enough importance for a whole DLC.

    I think Lars is right. We won't be seeing any more mini campaigns like dacian wars. They are probably not selling good enough. What I think is another culture pack like desert factions possibly masasyle, axum and nabatea perhaps. Also some unit packs and minor bug fixes. Other than that the game is done. I think they will announce a stand alone expansion eg Barbarian invasion 2 with a fancy name like fall of Rome or something. We will see soon enough.

    I wouldn't take Emperor edition being free as a reflection of sales of Hannibal and CIG sales. More like a free taste of DLC content for new players that come alone during the holiday steam sales

    That's my point though. CA does the big expansion pack as a separate game now.

    A new TW title. I want the dark ages through the entire middle ages. Med 2 with the Rome 2 engine but a reimagined building system and extended family trees, bloodlines, nobility ties intrigue and diplomacy. Basically a hybrid between Medeival 2 and Crusader Kings 2.



    Oh man oh man oh man I so want this!
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

    I suspect they would do Empire2 or a new time period (3 Kingdoms China?) before Med3.
    I would be inclined to expect a late Rome period expansion.

    Maybe a Late Rome/early Medieval could be an interesting kind of time? Possibly feeding to full blown Med3...

    Could be a good time for a Greece focussed/Pelloponesian War/Rise of Macedon type period.
    Carthage, Syracuse & Massilia in the West (but no Iberia), Etruscans, Magna Gracia & rising Rome in Italy (with Gallic invasions) much expanded Greece (again Gallic invasions), Big scary Persia in the East (maybe only Asia-Minor modeled but politically/diplomatically meddling Persia with big Invasions if you piss them off).


    I hope (most likely forlornly as I have since Rome1) for a return to the more simple Risk type campaign map of the past.

    I think it should have the old drag & drop counters with turns resolved simultaneously after End Turn like Shogun & Medieval 1.
    It really helped the Campaign AI & gameplay in my opinion.
    There are several great things which were common in that system which are impossible or only very kludgingly shoehorned into the current system. (like you could reliably retreat from a superior attack, it was easy for AI allies to send aid, AI could counter-attack if you left provinces underguarded while attacking, AI could send itself reinforcements)


    It should in my opinion then go to a Province level visually similar to the current Campaign (but only a single Province) when 2 or more armies wind up in the same province, then you get a few turns of Province level army maneuvring per Campaign turn (doing stuff like loot, withdraw, find defensive terrain, setup ambush, bypass enemy, attack, not necessarily having a battle)


    Then once there is a combat it would go to the 3rd level Real Time battles that we all know & love.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
