Next Total War Game Discussion

[Lord Baal]

In WW1 they did not have 150 people marching together .

They sort of did, that was one of the royally stupid reasons why that war had so many casualties, the people still wanted to use some form of Napoleonic tactics on a machine gun warfare... FAIL.

But not to stow away from the subject, I think a WW1 could be sweet, and most important, is doable. This system of turn based strategy and real time tactics could allow to ANY sort warfare to be covered, stone age, space colonization, you name it. However I fell they could improve a lot before getting to that, by making Rome 2, where I hope they finally implement supply systems and improve the overall game experience (both tactical and more important, strategically).

Star Wars Total War

[jackwei]

If there was a Victorian Total War then it should include the industrialization and rise of the Empire of Japan too as that would be very cool indeed controlling the Asian theatre and try driving the Brits and French out of Asia.

I am not too sure which TW game will be created if R2TW isn't the next TW game yet, but i would say between ACWTW, VTW, WW1 or some Ancient Conflict.

Strange though the TW Series hasn't had a proper expansion since M2TW Kingdoms as the other have been DLC.

[Derbiean]

I would like to see the next game set in WW1, failing that Rome 2 as Rome is my favourite total war so far.

[ALFAJI]

i really like to see a game from 13th century to the 17th century

Do you know guys ,that Creative Assembly is making new game engine ?
And I'm interested - the new game will be based on NEW engine or Warscape ?

The only thing that I know, it's may be time to CA to announce some informations (E3 is finished and it's now hollyday time) I'm sure that there will nothing new untill the end of summer .......

Not very fair from their part.

[AgentGB]

Rome 2 please!! and if i dare say, CA should take a page out of Roma Surrectum 2 book, for there numbered legions, traits, more realistic economy, hell just copy Roma Surrectum and give the units/factions alot of love, so every nation a pleasure to play with and against, and plenty of modding tools for the community so we can see some awesome mods.

Also more options for game difficulty rather then, easy, medium, hard, etc. Such as giving the player the choice to allow stack spams, as AI will never improve enough to beat a human opponent

[Heathen Hammer]

I wouldn't really mind Viking Invasion Total War.

[YD23]

Rome II for me.

[Admiral Van Tromp]

I am opened minded somehow, Rome 2, Victoria, Empire 2, Medieval 3 or World Wars are OK for me. Also that China idea would be very nice for a change, it seems epic.

[FightInTheShade]

Easily WWII for me. Imagine the mayhem of a full scale tank battle between Shermans & Panzers/Tigers. Sprinkle in some RPG infantry and you got some good ingredients. No more need for siege equipment. You can just blast through any wall or gate with tanks.

[Lord Baal]

Artillery could be bring to battle or if right tech and/or units are present artillery strikes could be called from neighbor places in the strategic map (if present or in range). Air strikes could be this way too, hell even reinforcements, with a delay according to the range/speed/distant from battlefield of the artillery/planes/reinforcements.

you realize they had niether castles or sieges* in WWII right?

*sieges like ancient ones anyway.

[Lord Baal]

But you could theoretically still siege a city, just not by trowing rocks at its gates, but by cutting supply routes or/and bombard the hell out of it from afar.. but yes, most of those kind of fortifications would not be present. Still bunkers and other obstacles would be.

[empr guy]

yes things like the siege of stalingrad show very well that sieges still techniquley occured, it's just that he implied that they would still have castles or something, yes tanks can blast through whatever but why even mention siege engines when most of that blasting owould be through houses or stone walls?

[Lord Baal]

Yeah I get your point bro. When I read his sentence I can't stop but to imagine a nazi tank opening a hole in a French castle, and then a few heads with chain mail and helms sticking out of the inside with big question and WTF marks hovering over their heads.

[empr guy]

na, thats not their style

[Nitram]

The next game is likely to be Rome 2, all else is pretty unlikely.
After all, if Rome 2 will use Shogun's engine, it would be awesome! (Probably it should be a little more moddable)

[Macedon1an]

Voted for Rome 2 Total War because its the best time period, and I wan't ancient naval battles
