Does anyone know if CA or Sega reads these threads

It would be kinda nice to know that our creative talking and ideas are actually going to good use. So I guess my question is, are their anyone that helped design this game reading these threads? For instance, there has been talk about the speeches and that seems like a very easy fix so I was wondering if on the expansion thats due to come out (Come on, common sence) or a patch will fix this little problem and make the game more enjoyable.

Threads with posts by CA staff in are marked with a purple and white CA shield - you'll see the speeches one has that mark and includes two posts by Captain Fishpants who is in the English part of CA (ie the part that did not make M2TW). He tends to browse the forums fairly regularly (ie almost on a daily basis).

There are also a number of other CA staffers who browse the forums from time to time, but company policy and common sense prevents them from posting much

What does the British part of CA do then?

I believe they are working on the "next generation" of TW games. STW and MTW were first generation; RTW and M2TW are second generation - ie those pairs share basically the same engine.

Ummmmm... we invented the whole Total War thing. That's what we "do".

Those colonial chappies in Oz are johnny-come-lately types.

As to what we're "doing" at the moment, that is a secret protected by sigils so hideous that even to glance at work in progress is to risk your sanity being blasted by the awful non-Euclidean geometry and eerie palimpsests displayed on our screens.

Or something -- possibly with less HP Lovecraft. (As an aside, does anyone else think that HP Lovecraft should be some sort of perversity involving brown sauce?)

One of the current code names for the project is Fast As a Shark II: Yeah, Baby! It's going to be good.

Good to hear from you fishpants, though i'm not so sure about those aussie colonial comments - I seem to remember that we beat you blokes at some game called cricket recently and you apparently still haven't recovered

We may be colonials, but we're colonial winners

That said, a HP Lovecraft: Total War would be interesting, to say the least; though I'd personally stick to a real world: total war for now

@Budwise, diablo - does that answer your question? - CA guys are around, and they read so much they've even gone slightly bonkers, to use an english term

Are you certain that doesn't have national security implications, Captain? That sounds awfully like some secret project during the war, something about a joke so deadly it would kill people who heard it.
