Next Total War Game Discussion

Lol. Same engine with new models and animation and map.

Note to CA and Sega :

CA / Sega treated me like raw meat on this release. It was nothing but disappointment and frustration regarding my purchase. (not to mention lies) I could care less what CA does next, I will never (yes repeat never) buy another CA product again. This game was ruined with a poor release, bad communications, and once again CA lies. It's obvious the game concept was more structured and less open than prior games in attempt to fool us in to thinking it was more than it is.

As far I'm concerned they can call their new game

"Stick it where the sun does not shine"

- former customer

I respect your opinion, it is yours to make, but why stick to TW forums if you hate their freshly made games and wont buy any of them in the future regardless of their quality?

Dont get this in the wrong way I dont mind you being here I just wonder

[Humble Warrior]

The fact they`re onto another Total War so quickly is not really a good sign. Sure, I know some of you don`t care as usual because it may your fave RTW2 or a `European` Total War game.

But I doubt quite as many of you would be so pleased if you heard this news after barely 2 months of Rome Total War 2 release.

Which will probably now happen.

CA got two seperate studios working on different things. One of them is working on patches/bugfixing/DLC(-insert enraged smiley-), while the other one has been working on the next game in the serie for probably some time.

Total War Rome 2

[Julius Caesar Salad]

A little early for this, isn't it? They haven't even started to nickel and dime us for useless DLC no one cares about.

[vermicious knid]

Fantasy:Total War - any fantasy setting ... Faerun ... Krynn ... Shannarra ... Westeros

[visser300]

RTW2 is interesting but I like Mongol: TW or Ming:Total war than

CA starts working on the next TW game immediately after one gets finished, its been that way for a long time, and they have two studios pumping them out every other year afaik.

if it is as hard as Shogun 2 is to mod it, I will stick with my RTW...

In that case, I would keep RTW installed.

[Heliocon]

you can only make transiters so small before they just melt from the electric currents heat though, Im just saying that the doubling of computer power wont last too much longer. And im not sure what your trying to say with the exponential increase, mabe your thinking that in 4 years computers will be 16 times as strong and will be able to do lots of troops or something, but lets say there were 1000 soldiers in every S1 battle, no actually 500.

so in the year 2000, 500 soldiers could be animated. in 2001, that would be 1000 troops, in 02' 2000, in 03' 4000, etc. As you can see, this isnt happening.



then it was modded and probably strained your computer if you were playing a while ago.




I realize the engine can be better optimized, but im not sure its going to bring the improvments the other guy was saying.

Dude, stop now, you are failing hard. First off the limits to transistor size are two things, one of them is heat but thats not the major problem anymore, the big problem is electron "jumping" in quantum mechanics which circumnavigates a chips gates (things that let current flow for a 0 or 1) so problems occur. YET we are still getting smaller, for example intel nehalem i3/i5/i7 was 40nm. Sandybridge is 32nm, ivybridge at the end of this year will be 28nm. At the same time nvidia kepler will be 28nm followed by a 22nm in end of 2012/start 2013.

The trend has started again - the reason we lost ghz the last few years is because of the problems stated which have now been circumnavigated, they will pop up again in a few years but until then we can again increase clock speeds AND cores which was and is the easiest/cheapest way to circumnavigate this problem.

As for power - I dont know if you cant comprehend english, or just cant type but in 4 years it would be 8x more powerful, you see when a number doubles every year, starting with 1, in 4 years it will be 8x more powerful. In anycase its every 18months and its called Moore's Law.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Law_-_2011.svg

Also barbarian invasion hordes could bring like 20-30k+ troops on the field, I never said it performed well. But the point is we are talking about raw power, the devs arent good enough programmers to harness it though (look at the crap DX11 implementation).

How is this big news? CA are always working on a new game

[Dodanodo]

While I still think that Rome TW is among th top 3 best games EVER, and I would die for a sequel, I hope they are not going to make Rome 2 next.
because I don't think that the current engine, and then especially the current campaign map gameplay, would suit Rome.
I think, the best thing CA could do right now is make a new engine, or dramaticly overhaul the campaign aspect of the current one, then test that new system by first making ancient greece TW and then Rome 2.

[kommandant]

it would be awesome if they did a Greece Total War, but i doubt they would ever do something like that
imagine a map full of city states that can easily be expanded with the much hated DLC's

i'm pretty sure i'm alone on this one but hey what can i do the mod The Greek Wars is my inspiration
to a full fledged TW game

[Ragga]

nope... rome will be on it's 10 year annerversary

we will be getting some'n fresh... some'n they can test a new engine out on prior to their release of R2

lol I like the features bit.

[Space Voyager]

I love this quote:

The Total War series has traditionally been a series that sells well in the longterm. Shogun 2, which was released two months ago, has sold over 600, 000 copies, but according to Simpson, "The original Shogun sold more copies in the second three years of its existence than it did in its first three years."

They forgot to add that this was a time when
-TW games were moddable and new buyers were attracted by mods as well
-a new TW game did not come out every year
-you didn't need a third party software installed to play it.

[Shogun17]

I want

East Asia - Campaigns (China, Mongolia, Korea, Siam) → something like M2-Kingdoms

Europe - Thirty Years' War (17th-century), ...

Rome 2 and Sparta campaign

Total War: Fantasy (LotR,...)

[THEMIK DK]

What about 1500-1680 TW?
