If there was a S2TW to come out I think that it would probably be all of Eastern Asia. Of course that would be years away...
Not sure if SE Asia would interest people so much that CA would make a game out of it... Then again, kung fu movies are quite popular. But I don't honestly believe that Shogun II is too realistic an option, as I can't see it selling as much as the bloody Roman times or romantic Medieval times.
They'll just make 2500 A.D. - Total War (get your hands off me you dirty ape) or something next. Or colonization (how much slavery they'd include is hard to tell - population rates, slave riots, trade, moral vs. political play... intriguing, but I digress).
It's sad - Shogun would be too large a project for an expansion, and out of any viable European theme. Maybe we could have Chinese single man units clothed in black-and-yellow tights vs. a kensai with Tomisaburo Wakayama's face... And of course the Chinese repeating crossbow.
Well,
I do long for a Shogun2, however, with a broader view, including other parts of Asia is a must.
Maybe an AsiaTW with Shogun Expansion, the other side of the world equivalents of MTW, and VI expansions.

Maybe they should team up with the folks from Dynasty Warriors and if they did japan might be an expansion or a 1 territory thingOriginally Posted by Suraknar

Yes, I must agree, a Shogun 2 would be very interesting, we can only hope I guess. Just hope all the flaws with the first few Shogun games dont follow it.
You know, it seems like the Ran No Jidai mod is close to release, and from what I saw the modders there did some extraordinary work already...
So we may get to play a Shogun2 quite soon after all :)

Hi Suraknar,
If you have M:TW you can play a, sort of, Shogun II straight away! There is a highly popular modification called Samurai Warlords which is a port of the original Shogun game to the greatly improved Medieval engine. Hope this helps you, cheers!Originally Posted by Suraknar
