Hopefully: Colonisation: Total War (Picking up where MTW left off and going through to 1800(ish) - This would let me live out my dream of being born during this period with memories of the future, hindsight = Me saying "Longbow > Musket God damn it!")
Realistically: Hellenistic: Total War. (Rome engine with new skins, a few little features and maybe the Indus - Yawn - Unless its expansion was the Roman struggle for dominance of the Italian peninsular)
Alternatively: MMORPG: Total War (Strictly profit I'd expect)
--
Can't help but think of it though - Setting off from Spain with a small fleet to fight the exotic and mysterious peoples of the Americas and taking home huge amounts of loot, with constant skirmishes with other Catholic powers, possibly a high speed chase around Cape Horn where the sink rate is 99%![]()
.
Some other brilliant features which would add huge amounts of realism:
1. Different stages of war/aggressiveness, ie: total tar, skirmishes, war at sea/distant provinces. Total war is and was a rare thing, look at the Falkland Islands - Strictly provincial and wasn't total war, these things happen and I'd love it to be incorporated into the TW games.
2. Looting after battles! Why not?! It happened! Not only gold and valuables, but also weapons and armour - the game could translate this to weapon/armor upgrades like those of the armouries built in provinces. The amount and quality depending on the slain enemy, however.
3. Further enhanced diplomacy. Use your imagination, I'm talking ultimatums, pacts over territories ("You invade Belgium, and I'll invade you!" sort of thing) and many others.
4. Lots more which I can't think of off the top of my head!![]()

Total War games really do have unlimited potential, if CA could only tap into even a quarter of it in the next game, it would easily drive me crazy like the previous titles.
