R2TW expansion for MTWII?
And expansion is something based on the original game. It's really weird to have RomeII as an expansion for Medieval TWII.

A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

Something like the "Rise of the Mongol Empire" would rule!!!! Or the Ottoman Empire. Byzanz would be cool too...well, we will see, right?!?!?

the best expansion would be to add the east to the westand expand the original game.
Re: AW: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
::edit::
I would like two things:
1) eastward expansion of the main game to include the eastern empires/powerful nations.
2) ability for some western european nations to force protestant reformation from ~ 1450AD onward.

Although the chances of STW2 are slim the new combat system would be amazing for the era. I mean samurai combat with combos and such would be amazing!

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Well it's not like CA to do a bad expansion pack... (ignores people who brought ATW) ....so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
A more in depth campaign map of the eastern mediteranean, where the emphasis lies on the crusader/latin states versus the muslims, versus the Byzantines. Smaller scope, more in-depth detail and more regional specific units. Ooh, and mongols.
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I don't really mind, but Rome 2: Total War sounds particularly delicious...
I support Israel
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
An expansion starting from the High Renaissance lasting until the siege of Viena (1683) or beyond this moment a decade or so. It's a period dominated by conflicts, including the Thirty Years War, and major developments in the battlefield tactics. The New World could be in this expansion another battleground for the European powers.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I voted for a Napoleonic setting, though I would also be partial to a Viking Invasion. However, my first choice for another game would be one in the medieval time period but set in the far east, incorporating China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan, India, Vietnam etc. (amongst others). One could also have Europeans appear at a late date, Shogun style.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I would like to have Viking invasion as an expansion pack because i would like the others to be seperate games.
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I think that's a great idea.A more in depth campaign map of the eastern mediteranean, where the emphasis lies on the crusader/latin states versus the muslims, versus the Byzantines. Smaller scope, more in-depth detail and more regional specific units. Ooh, and mongols.
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I would like to see something related to the muslims next time. Their history provides a great setting for the total war engine, with constant expansion, militarism, civil wars, rebellions, crusades, jihads.
Anyways, I voted for napoleonic, best choice there is.
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I think the time period would be better suited for an Ottoman Invasion than anything else.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
I second this. The Ottoman expansion in Anatolia and the Balkan would be a nice expansion pack. The idea of a setting in the middle-east, containing the war between crusaders and muslims is a nice idea, too. Viking Invasion was great, but I'm not sure if I would like to see it again... I want something different now...
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Thanks, I also think that ideally the expansion would differentiate between Shia and Sunni muslims. It would be more interesting, not to mention much more historicly accurate.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Fooey... I voted anything as long as no gunpowder.
Three of these choices (Rome2, Shogun2, Napoleonic) are NOT going to happen as an expansion. Those are full games. So the poll is a bit silly (IMO). And it leaves out what I think is the most logical expansion pack: Pirates of the Caribbean!
Seriously... if you have a foothold in the Americas, then why not an expansion pack that extends the game into the next colonial period in that area? It's ideal because you'd still need to hold your territories in Europe, as well as compete economically and militarily in the Americas. Of course the ship combat would suck, unless they really start working on a tactical sea combat engine.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
if you chosen Rome2 or Shogun2 then it counts as a full game. read the first post of this thread. (mine)
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Total War:The Rise of Islam. I have always wanted to see this played out. It’s just a perfect setting: Byzantium is on the verge of reforming the empire, the de facto Western Empire has fallen but the de jure Empire remains. Although I’m no fan of Roman and Byzantine style politics I would like to try to react against the lighting fast spread of Islam and reform the Byzantine army/government. It was the rise of Islam which closed the Mediterranean to all but a few Italian merchant states and plunged Europe into the Dark ages. As Byzantium you’d have to watch while your non-core states brake away and Musulman fleets threaten your capitol. After all, how long did it take Europe to push back the tide in Iberia? It’s just too exciting: fast paced invasion, a weakened Byzantium, the upstart monarchies in Europe, all before the Church acquired the dominance we see in the Medieval period.
If CA doesn’t make this expansion I would love to help create it. I’m sure our neglected Total Warriors in Eastern Europe and Muslim states would appreciate it as well.

Vladimir, you mean you would like to play Rome:TW: Barbarian Invasion? If i'm not mistaking, you can play as the Eastern Romans and fight the Sassanid Empire!
That's before the church takes control of europe, as we will have the pope again in MTW2. An expansion pack isn't going to remove the pope, and if it is, well... perhaps. RTW graphics can use a an upgrade as well of course, but i think you will agree Shogun graphics need it more!

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
For the rise of Islam: total war, I have the perfect idea. The great Ummayad Empire, much larger and powerful than the Romans ever were, but only survived 92 years, constant internal strife and dissidence being the main factor.
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
No, not quite, in less the expansion begins at 600 A.D. and ends before 1000. My understanding of BI is that it concerns the Huns and various other invaders that threatened the old order and feasted upon a dying Rome.Vladimir, you mean you would like to play Rome:TW: Barbarian Invasion?

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
You are correct. BI features three religions: paganism, Christianity, and Zoraostaism (probably misspelt). No Islam. It starts sometime in the 300's A.D.
I like the idea of an expansion pack set during that time period (Islam's rise). I wonder if it would be necessary to enlarge the map to include more of the Arabian peninsula. Kind of hard to imagine an expansion focused around the spread of Islam without Mecca or at least Medina.
I'd still really like to see a grand campaign (that is, full map, not limited to a smaller region) that starts during the Viking Age, too .
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Hey, where's the "GAH!" option?? [mock sigh]
Well minus that, I voted for "I dont care as long as it has no gunpowder in it." With the exception of mortar and cannons for siege battles, I don't think firearms lend themselves very well to the TW style of gaming. As a separate game, I would love to see Shogun 2. Not sure what I'd want in an expansion, although The Rise of Islam sounds kind of cool.

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Hmm, what options are there?
So far, the trend is:
= Major power attacks, seemingly unstoppable
= Set after the original timeframe
= NEW FACTION(S) are the threat
So, let's see the current suggestions.
= Crusaders:
- Those factions are already in the game
- Crusaders most definitely were stoppable
- Doesn't the game begin at the crusading era?
= Islam
- Started spreading before M2TW
- Are already in the game
= Dark Ages
- No unstoppable power really
- The hordes that started the Dark Age were unstoppable, and are already represented in Barbarian Invasion.
- Set before the original
= Some kind of gunpowder era
- Guns just don't work that well with TW does it?
- It's way back from the TW era
- Blitzes would be too easy since transportation would be easier and it'd be more advanced
= America (My Idea)
- Set after the original era [tick]
- New faction [tick]
- Sadly, not exactly unstoppable [cross]

Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
A dark age expansion would probably center around the islamic conquests. The problem I see is that the only other viable faction I can think of is the Frankish kingdom. If Karl Martel didn't beat the Moors at Poitiers, the muslims would have overrun Europe because there was no other power that could possibly stop them.
Re: What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?
Actually Viking Invasion was set before the original time frame. Thus a rise of islam expanison is considerable.
