Next Total War Game Discussion

[Ballacraine]

Exactly what I said when Shogun 2 was announced. CA got lazy and decided to water the system down. It became Total War for Dummies. The rock-paper-scissors system was absolutely boring thinning the units down as they did. It put clone armies front and center, and ruined the game. And no matter how much the Shogun fanatics here try to spin it, repainted units with stat tweaks do *not* constitute "unique rosters."

Quite agree!

RTW II FTW!

[Rusty Gamer]

Space - Total War or maybe Universe - Total War. Conquer space. Could have map of the solar system or more. Would also like to see a random map generator.

I'd really like a new ETW, but I doubt that will happen in the near future.

Roma Victor! Bring the legions, phalanx, companions, barbarians back!

[Xebenkeck]

I'd like a native america total war with the various indigineous groups across North and South America.

You know pit Apachi, Huron, Blackfoot, Aztec, Great Plains, Iroquos, etc into a game.

[Castel]

Love your idea Xebenkeck.

[vinh834]

Even is they somehow, but not likely make a WW1 Total war, #1 thing to put in, slow Aerial battles!

[Castel]

Didn't they say that Napoleon era was the limit and that there would be no 19, 20 century game ?

[Rorarii]

Real warfare : China!!! coming soon!

Hope it's Ancient China .. wet pants time!

I think it would be nice to see something different for a change. A lot of people play this game for the historical factor, creating alternate history through your command. But what if they did a fantasy style game? I've played through and beat dozens of campaigns in all the Total War games over the years, now it's the mods that bring me more entertainment. One of my favorite mods has to of been the Lord of the Rings mod. Mainly I liked it because it was one of the few mods that was actually well done and is being updated quite often. But in the middle of playing through a campaign and watching my men run around on the older game engine I sat back and wondered what a game would look like is CA were to make a fantasy game. It wouldn't have to follow a book or anything, CA could make up a unique story line all their own. This would open a floodgate of possibilities for the game. Instead of factions you could have multiple races, bringing a lot more diversity to a increasingly stale game. And the spectrum of units you could take would be outrageous. They could make any unit they wanted, do what every they wanted with those units and and give each faction/race and set of unique units. Fantasy is a blank check, no limits. Without having to follow historical accuracies they could balance the units how they please, making online play a lot more pleasant. Not to mention there could also be new battlefield affects such as various magic. For anyone who has ever played Warhammer Fantasy tabletop, imagine a single mage embedded into an army that would have various magic spells you would choose beforehand. Be a destructive mage and cast fire upon your enemies, or be a supporting mage and boost the speed or defenses of your own forces. Hell that would even make a cool avatar idea, make your avatar be a mage, warrior or whatnot.

At least thats my two cents.

I think they should go all out dadaist and make "Potato: Total War" once and for all.

I have a strong feeling that they did not, in fact, say that.

I base this opinion on the fact that they actually have made a 19th century game.

I would be surprised if they said that too. If they did Napoleon and Fall of the Samurai there's no reason they wouldn't do Victorian. I could see them saying that Victorian would be the limit and there would be no WWI or WW2 era. But I don't think I have ever heard them saying "We definitely won't do that" or anything along those lines.

[nbpal3000]

didnt CA said they were gonna announce next title on may 18th?

No they said they were going to have a big announcement on May 18th but they announced it early for some reason. It was just some stupid map editor or something I couldn't give 2 craps about. They need to stop with these editors and whatever Total War Battles is and just tell us what the next game is already.

[irontaino]

I was thinking a game on the "Age of Discovery" might be cool. It would span Europe, eastern and southeast Asia, North America, northern South America, maybe India and some of Africa. Maybe some factions like the Aztec or any other non-Western factions could adapt technology (somewhat like the Apachean tribes in Kingdoms, but more realistic).

[Kraut]

I pray for Victorian TW and for Rome 2 TW.
Please, CA, hear my wishes. I promise to give you some cookies (a box or two)

[SonOfCrusader76]

Isn't E3 soon? I'd imagine we'd definitely hear by then?

Edit: I wonder who voted for Shogun 3...

Fall of the Samurai pretty much threw that out the window, now didn't it? Not to mention the fact the that the Napoleonic Wars were in the 19th Century...
