MTW, several years ago.
THE GODFATHER, PART 2
The Thread
RTW even more recently.
The thing is Shogun is an old game. People prefer newer 3D graphics (rather than 2D sprites) and an easier to use inteface. That is why they abandoned Shogun and moved onto MTW and RTW. However I do think that a Shogun 2 TW would bring players back to Shogun so that they can compare it to the newer version.

Wrong. Pretty well nobody who started the series at Shogun actually plays Rome (many play MTW though), and very few who started at Medieval even. The only people who seem to like Rome a lot are those that are new to the series. I think 'vets' expect something a lot more like the games they are used to whereas newer players are much more open-minded about it; this is what causes the change of interest.Originally Posted by Avlvs Brittanicus

I'm not so sure about that. The only way most Shogun players (including myself) would probably flock to a sequel is if the units and gameplay was as well-balanced as the original. Given CA's track record in this area has steadily declined since then--not even my beloved MTW is as well balanced--I find that possibility vanishingly small. Not impossible, no, but it is unlikely.Originally Posted by Avlvs Brittanicus
It's probably true that a Shogun sequel would have little problem in attracting newer players, including those who liked Rome. But unless CA were to thoroughly test and play-balance the game like they used to, I highly doubt that most veterans of the original game would return.

I got the Total War Eras package specifically for STW. I wanted to stroll down memory lane for a nice while and I did. Now I'm doing MTW for a bit. STW is a great game and I love it. I hope to continue playing it some other time for sure.
I like the idea of a new STW myself.

92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..
Actually Silver, I started the series from STW, and then played MTW, and then RTW, and after loving STW, moving to MTW and not really liking the battles as much and therefore auto resolving campaigns and getting bored quickly, and then onto RTW and playing that more than any other game in the series. I guess I must be the exception.![]()
Never the less, STW is still a great game, and good to play when I'm in that "samurai" mood.![]()
That may be true in your case, and the case of many of the RTW noobies. However, I have found many of the 'vets' detest the new interface, I am not a fan of it either. Its to large and clunky, yuck.Originally Posted by Avlvs Brittanicus
Most of the 'vets' aren't perturbed by the 2D sprites, they just make us feel older,.
Like of mind we are not.![]()
