I was thinking the other day how great it would be to have an Age Of Empires style mod for the game that basically said hell to historical accuracy and just allowed for raw and diverse gameplay styles - e.g the Romans fighting the Sumerians. I do feel that too much emphasis can be put on historical accuracy and that it would be cool to have a game where you could really play some good what ifs like Japan vs Europe or the Greeks against the Egyptians and other AOE type scenarios.

So what do you reckon? Would an Age of Total War mod be cool ? Obviously it'd be set more to the middle east than the current map to at least give it some geo-historical purchase but other than that the game would be more about gameplay with basic units like "Roman Legion" or "Spartans" rather than being too specific. I just think it might be nice to go back to a Shogun simple style of units for a change.

And no, this mod wouldn't have any weird fantasy units like "mummys" as I've heard there will be in R:TW by the sound of things.
