Basically what you're asking for here is a game that allows you in computer mapboard fashion to replay a span of 1/4 to 1/5 of human history from a global perspective. The constraints of authoring such an enterprise are complexity of the design and code of the game, and the constraints of PC memory. I think it would take some significant improvements in the game driver to accomplish this.Originally Posted by askthepizzaguy
Even with the patches for Civ IV, I was still unable to play that game with huge maps. And Civ IV doesn't have the combat phase of the game that SEGA/CA have designed into the Total War series.
Also, one of the difficult aspects of the Total War series is the scale of the work in managing your faction in the late game when you have a few dozen provinces and faction members to manage. Now multiply that by three or four continents.
But judging from the poll results, you have a lot of sympathy out there for your idea.
I would say . . . keep dreaming, 'cause good ideas come from the process.
