When the options are over...for CA

I think they will probably make a China TW for starters. Which I'd love to see. Probably very colorful to say the least. I never played Shogun so it could be updated also.

Fantasy would be ok, but I am interested in seeing more information (as it becomes available) for Empire.

They could also do one about the rise of Napoleon (as an add-on).

The American Civil War would be popular in the US.

There are other conflicts such as Boer War that come to mind off the top of my head. I'd love to take a crack at playing the Zulu nation.

They could crank it back further into ancient history to take on the rise of all of the nation states that came out of the Middle East, such as the Assyrians, Babolynians, and Phoniecians.

As for now there's still plenty of options to choose from, they barely scratched the surface really.
They could go into the classic Greek period and let you play one of the Greek city states, they could make a game about Persia, the Hittites, Egypt, Nubia, China, the Mongols, Japan in another period, India, Africa, south-east Asia (Khmer anyone), Meso- and south America or they could even make a modern TW set in the 19th or 20th century complete with airborne warfare and the Manhattan Project.

Why not expand the 1500 1700 period and stretch the map from the americas across europe and into asia and ending up in the far east. I would love to have a European army taking on something from Shogun' china/japan or maybe from India.

would be like "Earth Total War"

well there was the movie 300 that deserves a trip to for one thing: pre roman good vs evil persians. Admit it you want the spartans.
Thishhhh ishhh Shhhpaartaahh!!!

Well, we're talking about post-Empire and any expansions, right? I'd guess a dedicated Napoleonic war expansion pack would follow, and/or maybe the U.S. Civil War.

After that, I think a China: Three Kingdoms game would be great, since I'm much more a fan of melee and primitive missile combat than gunpowder. But the problem is they now have a new 3D naval combat engine, which would be of very limited use there.

To use that naval engine, maybe a pre-RTW, classical Greek period game? There were some epic naval battles during that time, and a mix of sail-based and oar-driven tactics would be interesting. Then they could follow it by re-visiting Rome, where naval combat was also important at times. I'd much prefer that, or ancient China, than more gunpowder combat. I really DO NOT want to see them pushing into WWI or WWII with this engine. Even a fantasy series would be better than that.

There's the time period between M2TW and ETW, the age of pike and musket. Focus on the rise of protestanism, Thirty Years War etc.

Vietman: Total War?
Cavemen: Total War?
Space: Total War?
or
Teletubbies: Total War?
I'm looking forward to see these TW games.

lol "Cavemen: Total War.. I though of that one too. Seriously though, I'd like them to remake Shogun or do a different Japanese period. I much prefer swords and axes to muskets
