    Sooner or later everything ends but I don’t think it is time for TW to go the way of the passenger pidgin just yet.

    In a month or two we may even know what the Next Total War will be.

    I am betting on Rome II Total War...that seems safe enough.

    They, and by extension Sega, have a significant portion of their hardcore fan base ticked off at the moment, with what the fans view as broken promises and substandard product.

    If I were them I would be looking for ways to reverse that, at least to some extent.

    It is just my thoughts but what would make the largest number of dissidents happy would be mod tools and showing further support of the mod community.

    Most people don’t mod and perhaps most don’t even play mods but they do view it as an indicator of the company’s good will toward the fans.

    I got back into Rise of Nations. Pretty good game.

    That it is. Though if TW ended I'd probably curl up into a ball in a corner and whimper, since it is its own genre.

    I agree with you - why stop when they have a few more million dollar profits in them yet? everything in good time...

    Well, there was that survey they had over a year ago, what would a future TW title would be set in. It included some future setting, WWI, Greece and Asia.

    There is RTW2 already and it's called Europa Barbarorum..

    But seriously, I wouldn't mind a RTW2 from CA if it would be a bit more historically accurate than RTW.

    We can expect to see a R"3"TW much sooner than a EBII
