Official Total War survey

[chairman]

Im disappointed by the lack of an earlier game for China such as the Warring States or Three Kingdoms. I voted for Feudal Japan/Imperial Japan. If they did this, my understanding is that it would start sometime during the Song dynasty(960-1279) like say 1050 or 1100 and continue till the Tokugawa Shogunate/End of the Ming dynasty, so the late 16th century/early 17th century. That is a HUGE time period but ..... maybe... just maybe it can be pulled off. But I will not stand it if they make it as innaccurate as RTW (mainly alexander) and M2TW.

I wouldn't mind classical Greece/Rome 2 if it included Alexander and (absolute must have or won't buy) the Diadochi Wars. If it is classical Greece, it must include a fully fleshed out Achaemenid Empire. And ABSOLUTELY NO 300 STYLE SPARTANS AND NINJA IMMORTALS WITH RHINO RAMS. End rant.

I agree with wanting an epic long campaign running through centuries of Asian history. But CA have shown a reluctance to do such long spans of time. It would be fantastic to see China and the surrounding countries change and advance in the same way we have seen Europe advance (In Medival through to Empire.)

Also agreeing with your point about 300. Spartans were bad enough in Rome anyway, think what CA could end up doing with them if they are fans of the movie (or trying to appeal to fans of the movie) .

The survey IS official. I just asked Jack Lusted via PM and he linked me to this thread.

Cool, thats the sort of official confirmation I was after :)

No problem, I was a little worried about it to (especially since at first I completed it without thinking.)

We're just lucky that CA are a good enough company to have representatives here who are easily contactable and don't mind answering questions. (Unless they are about game features CA don't want to talk about.)

ROFLOL!

Would you like a demo?

If they are playing around with the engine they may not be ready for a demo.

I want the whole game! And ASAP!

Sure we are all going stir crazy waiting for it. I have never awaited a game with more anticipation. And don’t get me wrong, a demo would be great…I would just rather have a completed, working, high-quality game than a demo.

I want information and to see how it works as much or more than most of the people around here.

I just don’t think we are at all likely to get it.

[Sir Beane]

I agree with Polemists!

We need a demo soon, or else it's heads-on-pikes time! If CA can release a decent demo that showcases Land and Naval battles in Empire then they can convince a lot of fans who are on the fence that this is the game for them. Whilst at the same time stopping those of us who are anticipating the game from turning rabid and attempting to storm Horsham, West Sussex (CA's HQ).

If I were them I would be worried. Their address is publicly available and their wonderful games have taught us how to effectively form large groups of people into a fighting force.

Come one CA, please, please, please give us some info about a demo. We promise we won't pillage anywhere if you do!
