And the next expansion is......The ACW?

This is what i was referring to

Also, while looking it up i found that someone else had asked the question and been given the answer they weren't looking for
Here
Someone thinks the war started in 1915 by the Americans

And there was me thinking that the first shot fired was the one that killed Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

[Lazarus]

And please tell us what mighty and influencial country you hail from.

Australia

BUT it's not a competition, I meant that only in jest and did not hope to offend. I apologize if that was inappropriate, but please do not take it as a personal attack, or an attack on the American people as a whole.

But come on... you get the joke right? We're both in countries where our population lives well beyond its means, surely it's alright to have a bit of a laugh at the absurdity of it all?

And silly you indeed jonny, for that shot was an independent assassination! Not one as an act of war (though certainly a catalyst for it).

Naw dude, remember this?

It's obviously not coming out at the same time as RotS, so either this next game will be:

1) Announced @ E3 and released alongside with the new Prometheus (June 8), and be a game tie-in to the movie-- which so often than not, does not turn out well.

2) Game tie-in that shows up late.

3) Completely unrelated game in the same franchise.

I have considered moving to Australia, but now my wife would never leave home unfortunately. Cheers! On a side note, my friend and I dated some hot girls from New Zealand while I was stationed in Korea back in the 90's. They convinced us that New Zealand was the most beautiful place on Earth. They also thought all of America was just like it was depicted in "New Jack City;" They thought mashed potato sandwiches were the perfect food; And they called a certain body part the "big brown eye." I miss those girls, lol.

[Kraut]

They thought mashed potato sandwiches were the perfect food;

Holy Maria... all the saints be with us...please tell me: What, for heavens sake, is a "mashed potato sandwich"? Is it supposed to be eaten? How is it made? How does it look?

(I think I am frightened)


EDIT: OMG... I did a google picture search... should not have done that! Why am I so shocked? Let me explain.
We Germans do not have the cuisine par excellence ourselves, I admit, but we have neighbours (French, Italians) who know what good cuisine is. So even savage Krauts know, at least in theory, how proper food has to look like, and for sure MPS (I refuse to spell out the whole name) does not fit that criteria.

I tell you something, better hide all those MPS pictures, rather before the French or Italians find them, they will declare war on you for this sacrilege, they will wage a merciless culinaric crusade or something like this...

P.S.: Seriously, you donīt eat them, do you? They are just for feeding animals, right? Please say yes.

[Lazarus]

Ohhh trust me my friend, it may not be appealing to look at, but there's nothing quite like a MPS after a hard day of work! (if you love potato). One day when there's nobody around to judge you, I implore you to try it for yourself. Wonderful food, and not hard to make to boot! And yeah M2TW, those Kiwi ladies certainly did a good job being ambassadors then! Though the accent is a bit different, you can pretty much just take their attitudes and assume that everyone in New Zealand and Australia has that type of attitude (Let me guess, kind of care free, super informal?)

As a french-brit, I can tell you this: Fine food looks good, and often is. Good food doesn't need to look good, but to taste good. This one certainly is a good candidate for the second category!

[Kraut]

Obviously, I stand outnumbered in the MPS battle then?

[Siven]

Rome2 plz.

Trust me, those girls aren't lying. If you dont believe me, make one for yourself when nobody is looking and test it out.

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

Ever eaten Shephard's Pie?

SoS?

Cutlets and gravy?


ooh, Or a steak burger. Make a regular burger, put mashed potatoes on it (With everything in the mashed potatoes. Sour Cream, Chives, French Onions, etc.) then put some A1 on the burger.

[Sebidiah]

NOOOOOOOOO!, maybe.

I don't know, honestly. That's just what they said. I'm from New Orleans and we have some of the finest cuisine in the world, so mashed potato sandwiches have never been on the menu for me.

Keep in mind, these girls were hot, and when they're hot, you don't ask too many questions.

[Colonel Dax]

Disregard all of that. In my haste, I failed to properly read into the topic at-hand.

Hey! I too am from Louisiana!


We do have the best food, don't we?



Yeah. However muck I would like Rome2, I'm certain they're going for a more modern total war.


Still excited though!

[IGdood]

Civil war is weak as piss compared to this.

Imagine Abraham Lincoln as the General's Bodyguard as you lead line infantry fighting against zombies and .

[♘Top Hat Zebra]

I tried to get someone to help me with a Zombiemod for Empire, but No one took the bait.

[Euan]

WWI would be a joke, this is not strategic game gentlemen, it's tactics what's all there is to it. I can't see the next TW game leaving their comfort zone like that.

ACW would also be a disaster. It's not a world conflict, no matter what your elementary school history teacher might say (Columbus thought the earth was flat you say?). The main military advance was effective use of rifles. You might as well make an Iraq: Mustard TW game.

[a4phantom]

Hard to incorporate the slavery dynamic without either white washing it and pissing off good people and historians or else depicting its centrality and brutality and pissing off certain political and cultural element in the US who think it wasn't that big a deal.

[a4phantom]

And there was me thinking that the first shot fired was the one that killed Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

Yes, yes, the famous "Shot Fired 'Round The World" from an American rifle in Lexington, Mass all the way to ADFF's clown car in Serbia.
