At least that's what I hope they do

Damn it, I keep looking down these boards for something original to say and someone always beats me to it! I agree entirely with SilverKnight on this one, 1530-1783 would rock!

Only problem I can see would be length of the period (the expansions have all been pretty short so far)

Big inevitable theme would be conquest of america, so to keep it fun it could end up being any faction that wins over there, there is also a lot of tactical and strategic difference between the troops at the start and close of the period.


Alternatively, there could be a dark ages expansion, but covering the whole of Europe instead of just focusing on the British Isles - we can have serious Muslim expansion, Vikings, Charlemagne. Could be very very good, and if Napoleonic is the next full game after MTW2, perhaps the bits up to 17th/18th century would be better off attached to that?
