Very interesting ideas. LOTR one wouldnt work because well with Battle for Middle Earth II coming out and stuff they'd be too similiar and CA wouldnt get the rights.
Now onto the WW1/WW2. Its interestingly my favourite period of history, the one I like studying the most and the one I know most about. Interesting then I would not like it to be in a total war game. World War 1 because what would it be? Early mobalizing of 1914, then the race to the sea to outflank, then what? Nothing, deadlock. You'd have to be amazing to break a line, there was no movement in the first world war, itd be terrible as a game. World War 2 because it'd be too different from previous titles, it'd be a huge overhall and also such a short time period, perhaps 20th Century: Total War where they could stick in a couple of civil wars, world wars, falklands, gulf etc but bleh...
Colonial: TW could work. It could be like AOE3 (though of course being TW itd be loads better) in that the americas are involved, but they could go further in including Africa, Carribean etc.
China is very interesting. I know very little about the subject which in sometimes makes it more fun, you get to learn loads and have fun
Arthurian seems cool but errr, again please do correct me as my knowledge lacks in that time period but wasnt it all wandering tribes and stuff? You wouldnt get to play as somebody you half recognise imo.
A fantasy game - bleh, liking history as i do the great fun part of strategy games is just that, the history. I dont know I'd probably still buy it but not preorder you know?
Re: TW4 what do you want?
