    Default Hello fellow EB players

    Since i started playing this wonderful mod i have been amazed how much time and work has been put in. I really want Rome 2 Total War come next. Will Creative Assembly and Sega take notice of this mod and base new game on it.

    Post your thoughts

    edit:
    not base new game on it or take little inspiration from it.

    Really hope not, I'm sick of 2 titles, Shogun 2 was acceptable due to the improvements in gameplay and AI...
    I'd like new games to revolve around new regions and timeframes...

    Most of all with EBII coming out one day, R2TW, at least for me, will be irrelevant XD

    There are plenty of regions and time frames that would make for interesting gameplay. I'm no expert on Chinese history but wouldn't there be great opportunities there? Also, a Rise of Islam campaign might be pretty fun, detailing the Arab wars against the Byzantines and Sassanids.

    M2 sought to cover this timeframe, sort of, as they did several times and places, but they kind of fell short on all fronts. =[

    agree, the 2 years per turn really gave me the feeling they made it to let an average game also feature the renascence.

    btw there is a cute little mod about the italian wars. There are only few new units but it does make the whole setting come more to life than the late M2TW campaign. Also nice is the English civil war mod(tho somewhat after 1500)

    I don't see that one happening. Just one war which lasted for a few years can't be properly modelled in a TW game.

    (1) Hello romanip, welcome to the forums and to EB.
    (2) What CA/SEGA base their next Total War on doesn't interest me at all anymore because I won't buy that game anyway.
    I said it in another forum recently: I am done with that "Customer rights? Hahaha!" behaviour of the game industry.
    And therefore I don't buy games that force you to use Steam, are only complete with a gazillion additional DLC's (that are not free of course) etc.
    The TW story ended for me with MII TW.
    I didn't buy Empire or any of it's successors and I never will as long as I am forced to become a customer without rights to own these games. Period.

    That's why I am so eagerly awaiting EBII (one of the reasons, that is).
    EBI kept me busy for some years now, EBII will provide even more challenges to take on and knowledge to learn.
    Who needs highend-super-duper-graphics when there is actual highend gameplay available?

    I know what you mean :L I Think we should support the moders as they deserve recognition sometimes more than actual developers !

    Yes it does, but most gamers worldwide have never heard of 'Hellas'. Few American or British teenagers would know what the word meant.

    In fact, a better title from a sales point of view would be: Sparta: Total War (with an obligatory black-bearded Spartan officer shouting on the front cover). In familiar CA/SEGA fashion, factions would be the Spartans and some other people who got beaten up by the Spartans. Units would be 'realistically and carefully balanced' so that the Spartans can defeat an Athenian army three times their strength, a Theban army five times their strength, and a Persian army twenty times their strength....you know where this is heading!
