Next Total War game?

[sapi]

Napoleonic Era would be awesome but the game would have to be made much bigger campaign wise. The world should be chopped into sections and you can view each section on a different screen with each screen being like a M2 map. Europe, North America, South America, South Africa etc. Then, each of these maps would have to be bigger to allow more army-moving tactic. Maybe Attrition could make a real debut. If you don't stick to roads and camp in winter, you lose men. Armies taking supplies and supply lines could also be included with some clever thought.
Other things would be important as well. Things like More units under your control. More Soldiers on the field.. Larger battlefields. It should take a very long time to cross the field and you should be open to tactics like splitting you army into several groups to accomplish certain tasks.

I doubt all those things would be included if CA made a Napoleonic Total war but.. hey, I can dream right?

If supply lines are in, i'm out. If you've ever played company of heroes you'd understand why - adding supply lines to a rts does nothing but slow gameplay and drastically reduce tactical options.

Since the next TW will be a completely new game, I think they ought to:

1) lower the detail and truly allow tens of thousands of troops onscreen at once, or keep current graphical levels and give us the possibility to be a soldier on the battlefield who isn't in charge of anything except his blade, his horse, and keeping with his unit.

2) abstract field commands to a division level with rules of engagement, and make runners going from the general's location to the division commanders when objective orders need to be altered.

Napoleonic era sounds great, especially with the M2TW graphics engine.

Personally my favourite setting is the Egypt-Assyria-Babylon-Hattusas-Media-Persia period. No better time for huge kingdoms trying to bash each other to pieces and succeeding after a couple hundred years of it.

Again, if the series goes quasi fps i'm out. I agree with you on the setting though.

I think the most likly thing to be released will be a M2TW expansion but i would love to see a shogun two.

Meh - wouldnt' be too bad but i'd prefer if it was kept out of asia so it was still relevant

I think that a current version on the World Wars (I and II) would be pretty cool. I think it would be fun to choose one of the lesser countries that are near Nazi Germany (who would obviously be a stronger then usual faction purposely) and try to fight them off. I don't know.. just a thought.

TW and gunpowder (that is, armies made up entirely of gunpowder) don't mix - not to mention that there was no place for group formations in ww2

What about Colonial Total war?The great European colonial powers France,Holland,England,Spain,Portugal,Belgium and many factions that became colonies such as areas of Africa asia, north america and south america

No
