And the next Total War game is....

[Raven D.]

Hmm... so it will be Empire: Total War?

Actually, I don't give a ****...

Then shut up!!!

[Asean]

I'm not in the least bit interested in this era. I'll pass.

[Guiscard]

So AOEIII... except a twatillion times better? I can definitely live with that!

Unless CA oversimplifies things too.

I'm just relieved it's based on history and not some shittily imagined fantasy slop.

[numerosdecimus]

Will you guys at CA try to give in the beginning of the game the correct territories for factions? For instance, Ceylon or Goa, Diu, etc...

I for one am very excited, although I hope they do naval combat justice.

[ProneStar!]

*yawn* played that game a thousand times, i have lost my erection for the next TW with this announcement.

Incidentally i've set up an Empire Total War page over at the TWC Wiki here: http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Empire:_Total_War

so if anyone wants to add any extra links to previews or screenshots they find, feel free

This is Awsome!
Can't wait to kick the Frenchies out of America again, and this time, keep her British

[preston]

Huge and useless :
Absolute majority was for RTW 2 . There're so much games about pirates -
this one surely would go un-noticed .

I did say on here in that post that CA explicity said they won't remake games the only reason for Medieval 2 was because of features they had to leave out for the original but really wanted them in game so the remade it and put in the features they left out and etc. You can see this in the Bonus DVD that comes with Total War: Eras.

Score!

Any idea what the expanse of the camp map will be?

And what's the deal with the negative replies? Perhaps gp isn't as glorious as the sword and sandal era, but I think if they rehaul the battle system and allow from street to street style guerilla combat (they said buildings are occupiable) - then this will truly rock.

And I really hope they let you recreate the colonial empires including areas like south america and India. It would simply rock to fight over the ENTIRE world TW style!! I mean I can't wait to have my own anglo-french war over india.

[Farnan]

Europe, the Middle East, India, and the Americas

[Miraj]

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I really hope they do good with factions like Spain and the Ottoman empire. This is going to rock!

[Mountain_Commander]

Yes Ohio played its part even in the Revolutionary War. Don't forget us CA!

Fort Laurens was built in late November, 1778, on the banks of the Tuscarawas River near what is now Bolivar, Ohio. General McIntosh named the fort in honor of the President of the Continental Congress, Henry Laurens. The wooden stockade was approximately one acre in size. It was a quadrangular-shaped fort with four bastions approximately 240 feet from the top of one angle of a bastion to another. Barracks and storehouse buildings were located inside the walls.

The Ohio Pioneers saved the United States all the land west of the Allegheny mountains AND saved the entire nation in the Civil War.

ya im so excited thats so cool but ohhh **** i hope the next one will be rtw2

[DimondLight]

That looks quite sick I must say, and naval battles will be awesome. I dunno what I'm going to do about my rig though .

[Firebat11]

I think I just *&%$ my pants!!!!!!!!

NAVAL BATTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New engine = YEAH
New AI = I hope so, or it'll be a big let down
Naval battles = awesome

I just hope that they make it better then Imperial Glory because that game was terrible. I can't wait to see those huge cannons, red coats, formations *drools*.

I hope that units will each have an officer (like a lieutenant), like a lot of mods do for M2TW. That will certainly add to the fun!!!!

Can't wait, CA. However don't release it early, I prefer polished games over premature games with lots of bugs with subsequent patches. The disk space is going to be huge!!

[Bella]

So I take it this will be a DX10 based engine for this installment of the TW series?
