Shogun II Total War announced!

[Geuvesa]

This morning I recieved an e-mail from Earl Gray (the Lead Designer of Rome Total War) saying that because of critic feedback and retail figures CA will be taking the series further back in time to it's origins. And that a new graphics system and an enhanced combat system will be the key new features in Shogun. He did not elaborate much on what else the game would hold except that the maps would include Asia, The Western coast of Continental Americas, as well as all of Africa for the first time!

Stand by for more information as the day progresses i will be sure to keep you all updated!

Meh, I knew you were joking from the title. Everyone knows the next title will be Rome II. Plus why would the lead designer email you? =P

Good question, then again who would name their kid Earl Gray? The name was a tribute to Hammeredalways the american loving brit on these boards and it was a little bit of a jab at alot of the napoleon supporters who want to keep USA out of napoleon TW by saying the us was a map but not europe.

I meant that to RTW2.

@ Timur_the_Lame:
Don't worry after next game I'm 99% sure CA will go back to time and will make RTW2!
