Total War Countdown/ UPDATE: Shogun 2 confirmed!

[reg42]

Hmm... Yeah, I think they'll do Rome again. It seems like the logical choice.

 

[Tzekelkan]

It might be cool if they went with the ancient civilizations of the South Americas. I don't know my history too well, but I'm supposing epic battles took place in those places as well, right? Maybe in the late-game the Conquistadors would arrive as a game-changing event.

Are you serious? Why not just try for a setting in Africa with warfare between the african tribes? Because I've seen more than enough mayans in my RTSes, not to mention they're boring even as a minor/secondary faction.

Yeah, that'd be cool too. What I'm saying is that I'd like it be somewhere new, somewhere exotic, something they haven't done before. Africa would be awesome, not a lot of RTSes focus on that place, do they?

I'm just glad they're moving away from gunpowder again.

So excited to find out what it'll be!

Somewhere in the future prehaps?

i would like rome with new features but if not i would want world war 1-2 with proper trench warfare with artillary and supplies lines that would be important

I was pretty fond of empire and napoleon wasn't too shabby. one way they could make all campaigns umpteen billion times better is remove the AI's compulsion to declare war on you for no other reason than that you're doing well.

reasons like that are why I hated medieval 2 so intensely. I suppose Rome could be fun, but I want them to do what Empire did and expand the map beyond europe.

Its got a bloody long way to go before they've got away from gunpoweder being dominat in western warfare, another 200ish years.

Just look at how much sand is still left in the hourglass. I'd say that at most, 1/5 has fallen through so far.

 

[Torque669]

Maybe they'll throw everyone for a loop and make Spartan: Total Warrior 2.

Oh god I hope so. I was playing that the other day and personally I think Ares is much better in that game than any other including God of War.

Also looking forward to Rome Total War 2. Although Id like any Total War that was as good as Medievil 2.

Basically, the hourglass is counting back from 2010 and where it finishes is presumably the era where the next TW is set. Where do you think it will end up?

I personally think it'll be Rome 2.

Also, to add some more discussion value, what do you want to see in the next part of the series?

Time for a new Shogun Total Wars AMIRITE!!!

Easily my favorite of the bunch Although i wish it had a larger scope, ala Rome

Also guys, the first gunpowder weapons to be used as the Chinese in the 11 century. We have a WHILE.

Of course, it wasnt commonly used for a while after that, so Ill cut some slack

 

[RicoADF]

If their going backwards to a time before Empire and Nepoleon then I'd be very disapointed. The series is best when it continues forward.

 

[Zacharine]

For me, I'm hoping ancient China, specifically 5th to 3rd century BC and the Warring States era. Iron begins to replace bronze, no real unifying leader, lots of historical wars and conflicts etc.

 

[One of Many]

Well I am interested and will be watching for this new game!

I meant that they move away from gunpowder-based warfare. I want to have epic melee battles.

Also, I demand proper sieges to return. I hated the fort sieges, I want to bombard the city and have bloody battles in the streets.

TOTAL WAR: WWI - WWII maybe dunno tho!

TOTAL WAR: WWI - WWII maybe dunno tho!

We're almost 100 years past that time already....please at least look at the countdown before posting. Although I do agree that that would be interesting, at least WWI. WWII not so much because the air force becomes too important.
