Next Total War era Title

May I ask why the title was edited? The original was more accurate than the revised version. The next historical title is the Saga game, the Thrones of Britannia. The major titles are now described as 'tentpoles' by CA employees themselves.

CA may use the term "tentpole", but they didn't in the official announcement. They called it a "Total War era". Now, I know you are less than thrilled with the choice, but a new Total War title has just been announced(!!) - is a thread title, now moved the a brand, spankin' new forum, really something worth diminishing the magnitude of the announcement?

About time they got to the 3 Kingdoms. So much that can be done in Asia that TW hasn't got to. And yes I would prefer it to have the options to play historical or warhammerish.

Yes, I understand, thanks for your explanation. In other news, unfortunately Jeff Van Dyck, who composed the music of Shogun will not be involved in the project.

Sweet

This was the one I thought was pretty much most likely & most desirable.

Interesting they may be using Warhammer style Hero unit tech.
While I am utterly uninterested in Warhammer a bunch of that tech can be used to produce some cool historical figures with relatively less fantasy abilities/buffs etc.
And we've previously had the S:TW Kenzai heros before...

Possible hint at a change back towards old-style campaign map?

Probably not but one can live in hope

Happened on this vid which gives a nice overview of the historical background

Warhammer's influence on the next historical TW games will clearly be seen, because it's a huge sales success for SEGA / CA and the formula will applied.

Well, that's brought me out of the woodwork! Have you guys all been hanging out here all these years?

I've always thought the 3D strategic layer was a mistake. I don't see CA ever going back to it, though.

I have been waiting for this for like 20 years. The spring release feels a bit rushed. I have read the Chinese book (most popular version) multiple times. Hopefully they will make a good game.

It will be released in autumn, not spring. I think you are confused with the Thrones of Britannia, whose release date is indeed scheduled in spring.

That being said, I agree with your observation. One former CA employee said that 3K existed only on paper a couple of months ago.

Add to that that the normal circle between announcement and release is slightly more than one year (Rome II: July '12 - September '13, Warhammer I: March 2015 - May 2016), so I'm a bit skeptical too.
