TW4 what do you want?

Unless we want a game similar to RTW, we need to avoid things like egypt total war or greek total war. It would be just an update of RTW. Unless if that’s what everybody wants...

I like that time period.

It's part of the reason I never got Medievil; I don't know much about the time period. It doesn't interest me.

Then, what have we left? Europe 1500-1800 ad? A Chinese TW? An american indian/ Atec/ Inca game? Or what? The main thing with the TW-series is to exploit and cover the main conflict periods in human history. I suggested a bronze age game just because it´s nothing like RTW at all. Warfare was very diffenrent and honor was a key element. Skirmishing is another key to ancient warfare not at all like the Roman era with organized warfare. I do realise that for people that finds history obsolete or dull this would be a bad choice.
My other suggestion regarding a game based around Egypt is just my personal flavour based on over 15 years of studying egyptology and I think it wouldn´t be that popular amongst the gaming community.
However, a TW-game covering the ancient empires that I suggested, roughly 2000-1000 bc, would be a killer IMO. Before the TW-series evolve into more modern warfare 15th, 16th, 17th centuries the game needs to be better, smarter AI, more complex reality settings like attrition, logistics etc etc. That the TW series would attempt to release a "modern" (18th and 19th cetury) warfare game would be the end of this great serie. There are to many good games covering this era already on the market.

I told u No specific time period,
Start form neanderthal man,
And work your way up.
at 4 turns per year with the game i described youd be Verry lucky to make it all the way thru to the sengoku jidai period.

ULTIMATE TOTAL WAR!!!!
