Question for CA: What about Shogun 2:TW?

Dear CA staff,

I'd like to pose this question on behalf of all the patrons who still enjoy Shogun:Total War or the Samurai Warlords mod for Medieval:Total War.

While planning Medieval 2, was there at any moment a discussion to make Shogun 2 instead?
If so, why did you decide to favour the Medieval period?
Where there any researches into customer opinion or did you decide pro Medieval because it was more popular and its release
not that long ago?
Is there any chance that CA will in the future release a Shogun 2 game?

I think the answer for the preference is simple: A new MTW was much more liked by the community. 70% of the people wanted MTWII.

Oh, i didn't know there was a poll!?

Got a link?

No no no. Not a poll. I was generally speaking.
If you look back at the 3 big forums(TWCom, TWOrg, TWC), you'll see that most of the people want a remake of Medieval TW. There were some voices with STW2, but not much.

I see.

Still the question remains:

Is there any chance that CA will in the future release a Shogun 2 game?

I bet its possible. Anything with gunpowder in it will be too confusing for the TW series, sooner or later they will have to revert to that time era again.

Shogun 2? No offence, but all I can say about this idea is "yawn". Shogun was a great game and all, but after Medieval and Rome I simply cannot imagine going back to a game with one culture and less than 20 units. I'd much prefer a game covering the whole of east Asia. I'd prefer it to MTW 2 in fact.
