Thread: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Id like a R2TW of course thats just my opnion. ALSO NEXT TOTAL WAR GAME
R2TW expansion for MTWII? 
And expansion is something based on the original game. It's really weird to have RomeII as an expansion for Medieval TWII.

Something like the "Rise of the Mongol Empire" would rule!!!! Or the Ottoman Empire. Byzanz would be cool too...well, we will see, right?!?!?

read my first post.
read my first post.
A more in depth campaign map of the eastern mediteranean, where the emphasis lies on the crusader/latin states versus the muslims, versus the Byzantines. Smaller scope, more in-depth detail and more regional specific units. Ooh, and mongols.
I don't really mind, but Rome 2: Total War sounds particularly delicious...
An expansion starting from the High Renaissance lasting until the siege of Viena (1683) or beyond this moment a decade or so. It's a period dominated by conflicts, including the Thirty Years War, and major developments in the battlefield tactics. The New World could be in this expansion another battleground for the European powers.
I voted for a Napoleonic setting, though I would also be partial to a Viking Invasion. However, my first choice for another game would be one in the medieval time period but set in the far east, incorporating China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan, India, Vietnam etc. (amongst others). One could also have Europeans appear at a late date, Shogun style.
I would like to have Viking invasion as an expansion pack because i would like the others to be seperate games.
Vikings for me, how I miss those 12 bezerkers that annihilated the saxons...
Would be nice if they made an expansion which expanded more upon the western side of the map.
Read: South America.
No way they're going to leave out the Aztecs et all in the expansion.

Expansion pack with expanded maps and 100 faction limit 
They might do as an expansion :
- a renaissance/conquest of the Americas expansion (most likely, maybe even two expansions, one focusing on Europe
and one on the Americas)
- a dark ages expansion (too overdone already ?)
- a Shogun expansion (too different ?)
No way will they do a compelety different era like Rome or a true gunpowder game. Shogun *might* be a possibility since the basic mechanics are similar (reusable code), the Japan map would be rather small (compared to Europe + Americas) and the factions would be rather similar (less new models, less balancing). However I highly doubt that we will see a Shogun expansion. I believe I'm the first one who suggested such a thing might be feasible and it seems to have caught on with some people, but it was mostly just wishful thinking on my part. An expansion tends to *expand* the original game, and a Shogun expansion would probably just be too different.
As a next game:
-Napoleon: Total War (that's what I would like to see, I think it would be a nice change, the TW formula is wearing a
bit thin for me in its current form)
-Rome 2: Total war (that's honestly what I expect, but I'll probably feel like it will be to soon, especially since RTW never did it for me, but it was the first TW game for a lot of people)
-Something set in Asia (doubtful, not enough mass market appeal)
-Colonization: Total War (I can dream can't I ?)
- a renaissance/conquest of the Americas expansion (most likely, maybe even two expansions, one focusing on Europe
and one on the Americas)
- a dark ages expansion (too overdone already ?)
- a Shogun expansion (too different ?)

I voted for Viking Invasion. I want the vikings and such. That would be great fun. I think for the next game they could have a Total War set in the Middle East and extends to India. That would be awesome. It would supply a new setting, new troops, a new map, and a whole new strategy to the game. India's war Elephants, Clavary Archers everywhere, cities' crops depending on the monsoons of the Indus Valley. That would be awesome. I am also throughly opposed to gun powder. I just don't like it. It ruins the up-clos-and-personal Total War battles I have come to know and love.

I would like to see something related to the muslims next time. Their history provides a great setting for the total war engine, with constant expansion, militarism, civil wars, rebellions, crusades, jihads.
Anyways, I voted for napoleonic, best choice there is.

I think the time period would be better suited for an Ottoman Invasion than anything else.

I second this. The Ottoman expansion in Anatolia and the Balkan would be a nice expansion pack. The idea of a setting in the middle-east, containing the war between crusaders and muslims is a nice idea, too. Viking Invasion was great, but I'm not sure if I would like to see it again... I want something different now...I think the time period would be better suited for an Ottoman Invasion than anything else.
The end game setting leads me to believe the expansion will be about the reniassance period, with an expanded americas map that will include north america and more american factions, ending up with the war of independence probably.
Who knows though, RTW got 2 expansions, so i'm betting on a dark ages expansion as well.

an expansion where the mp works, and the armies and gameplay are balanced.....
Fooey... I voted anything as long as no gunpowder.
Three of these choices (Rome2, Shogun2, Napoleonic) are NOT going to happen as an expansion. Those are full games. So the poll is a bit silly (IMO). And it leaves out what I think is the most logical expansion pack: Pirates of the Caribbean!
Seriously... if you have a foothold in the Americas, then why not an expansion pack that extends the game into the next colonial period in that area? It's ideal because you'd still need to hold your territories in Europe, as well as compete economically and militarily in the Americas. Of course the ship combat would suck, unless they really start working on a tactical sea combat engine.

Maybe a Conquistador Invasion, where you are opposing the Spaniards.The end game setting leads me to believe the expansion will be about the reniassance period, with an expanded americas map that will include north america and more american factions, ending up with the war of independence probably.

They'll probably save their content and put it in their revolutionary path instead, but it would be great to add STW2 as an expansion to MTW2. For $30? Unlikely, but still, would be nice 
No no no. People, CRUSADER:total war.
Based on the latin states in the east.

i have to admit i like the barbarians in the viking expansion and with the new engine it would be extremely awesome to see hordes of vikings,irish,saxons and more storm the fields of Britain!

Thanks, I also think that ideally the expansion would differentiate between Shia and Sunni muslims. It would be more interesting, not to mention much more historicly accurate.
