I dont think that it would go so far. Perhaps early gunpowder. Would love to see a true European version of guns versus swords conflict in Total War.

Most likely that will be the next era for the historical TW title that's coming up.

Game of Thrones or GoT:TW is also in my humble opinion almost certain in the long run. Warhammer has been an overall great addition to the series and shown finance guys like me that the risk-weighted margins and returns are there if the demands of the various counterparts are not too high. As I stated before the great fans and modders of this series have demostrated beyond that Lotr:TW plus DLC and expansions into various realms and ages would sell very well.

Overall I would love the addition of more topical campaigns with detailed regional maps for any game. Lots of good memories from Viking Invasions to Carolus Magnus in Attila. Combined with four seasons to twelve months they offer the most intense role-playing feeling with the best scaling.

Indeed, now that I think of it, it is very much possible that a Game of Thrones TW will be made, given that Warhammer was such a massive sales hit for CA.

I read this thread a week and a half ago and have been thinking about it since then. I believe in all likelihood if they are going to make the next title a historical title, it will be either a rehash of Empire...or the Far East, Three Kingdoms perhaps?

Neither one really interests me though. Mildly more than Warhammer or another fantasy title.

Thing is, a remake of Empire TW might be on the cards, but they need to think this carefully because while Medieval, Shogun and Rome were serious fan favourites, Empire doesn't have the same base to fall upon.

Shogun is a cult classic -> Shogun 2.

Medieval TW is a masterpiece -> Medieval 2.

Rome TW made TW mainstream -> Rome 2.

Whatever they choose to make ...
they should use the Battlefield coding from the original MTW & improve on it if they still can or know how too .
As all other releases that followed the AI went downhill ...

Yes, I quite agree, but I don't believe they will give it proper consideration. Sega has engineered a toxic environment that kills off this kind of innovation they absolutely need to resolve the glaring problems in the original title.
This is why I don't have much interest. All we'll likely get is "better" graphics and a rehash of Rome 2's campaign province development. I feel like that period is such a large bite to chew that they cannot do it justice. Well, at least based upon their history. I'm also not so sure it doesn't have a fan base now. It seemed to enjoy a renaissance around the time Rome 2 was being developed.

As for a Three Kingdoms game...eh, call me racist but there is no interest by me in that area of the world.

For a westerner it will feel like a rehash of Japanese culture. But I could see potential to be a money maker in Asia.

P.S. Yes, I looked into Empire popularity. By the numbers it's a bit surprising: http://steamspy.com/dev/Creative+Assembly
