I still feel this is going to be a good one. But I would love CA to revisit Japan...

I'm very pleased. But the initial euphoria has settled and reality is replacing it.

I am afraid that this will be more of that "arcade" feeling.

There is such enormous potential here: New engine, new era, new AI. This could be their best yet.

But if CA/SEGA chooses to water down the features and arcade it up, then we could be totally bummed.

If i only know the approximate size of the game..then i could have a precise prediction of the game... i'm afraid there will not be a lot of upgrades since the the game only takes place from 1700 to 1800. I also wish wo see a total variety of units so that every empire is unique as much as possible even if that makes CA cut down the number of playable factions...now that game could make history..............oh i wish i could make that game

Do you mean size in gigabytes of install? I'ld count on several, maybe tens. But that doesn't really say much, other than that it is a modern game and probably has high resolution graphics. Both are to be confirmed.

I predict that if i try to run this game, my pc will blow up :D

I predict that I will be able to run this game at max settings.

I also predict that factions and battles will be too similar and might get boring.

Based on M2TW, I predict that on release day, CA will give us a functional beta, 6 months to 1 year later, the full game will be released as the '1.3 patch'.

Given that the game will only have a hundred years to play, I also predict small techtrees.

I couldnt have put it better myself.

And I'll add a caveat to this-

I predict- 6 months to a year into the working beta, CA will announce the next Total War game, despite the fact that RTW, MTW2 and ETW will still have major bugs.

Completely agree on this point too.
