New Ideas for Total War

The CA devs post in the Empire forum from time to time so if you post there there's a good chance they'll read it. Or you could post at the forums at totalwar.com, I believe they frequent those more often.

I am almost certain Civ4 has a "real world" map, every other installment has.

You know there are some good rts's out there that dont have a random map generator like coh and dow

Yes Civ4 does.

I'd like to see the option in TW - but only in additional to the historical map(s).

What I'd really like would be STW and MTW's starting period choices instead of one grand campaign(how about a slightly different campaign map for each starting period to reflect its historical changes and focus?) and their re-emerging factions, for more unpredictability.

Absolutely! I really loved trying to acheive victory as the HRE in Late in the original MTW. Citadels, pike and halberdiers everywhere and not the usual tons of cash and stacks that I usually have by the time I hit Late.

As for a random map generator, I'm not too fussed. I would like a Whole World map though, perhaps one where settlement locations (and names) and province borders change for different eras.
I love the Tech tree aspect of Civ. How this could be included to allow cultures who put a high value on research amd innovation to access more advanced methods of warfare - seige equipment, crossbows, gunpowder etc before others, would be very nice

BTW Civ and TW are the only games I have played for, er, too long to mention now and I would love to see some sort of fusion between them that allows real time strat playing against real opponents. For me this is the Holy Grail of Gaming. But I dream...
