    Voted.

    most likely it will be a Rome II standalone, if you take "Sword of Atilla" book into consideration.

    Total War: Total War

    CA, after carefully examining the threads in VV, the History forum of TWC, decided to bring all TWC's members fantasies to life. In the upcoming TW:TW the player can pick any civilization, in any given time period, and confront any opponent, historical or fictional. Romans vs. Ninja? Erich von Manstein vs. Darth Vader? Dogs vs Cats? You wish it, we have it. Watch the Panzers roll over the hapless Assyrians! Or will they? The first two planned DLCs are "Alexander vs. Hannibal" -no explanations needed-and the weapons pack "K&K (Katana and Kalashnikov)l", a highly customizable weapons pack which will redefine the term "highly customizable weapons pack".

    Since the game is still in development we will be prowling the VV forum for more exciting ideas.

    Yours truly etc

    Probably a DLC, too early for a new TW game to rise, hopefully something with India gets added... The lack of India on the map is pitiful

    I thought they were finally going to introduce "Crap historians vs. the Creative Assembly" mode in this game?

    Obviously I'm hoping for a Barbarian Invasion game, or Empire II

    I'd laugh if it's a new DLC for Rome 2. So much mystery for one DLC.
    Although it did say "Next Total war title" in the schedule, so either Medieval 3 or Warhammer.

    Five TWC Dollars on 'Fall of the Empire' or something.

Standalone expansion is a dying concept nowadays, in a time when greed dictates everything. The last standalone expansion that I'm aware of was released in 2010 (Mount & Blade Warband).

    Yeah, I saw that thread. It doesn't have a poll though, and posting a new poll here in this forum links it to the sidebar.

    It's probably a good idea to make a post over in that thread asking people to come vote here. I'll do that now.

    Its actually dishonest of me to vote in this poll because I already know. I just wanted to see the results of the poll when I view the forum without having to click the View Results link every time I login and for that to happen you have to already have voted. I voted for Other simply because nobody else had and you can safely ignore my vote when forming your opinion or making a guess.

    My bets:
    - Announcement is about an expansion pack for RII set during Atilla's reign over the Huns.
    - The Warhammer game will be WH: Mark of Chaos II.

    My wishes:
    - The soon to be announced game will be Warhammer (a de facto Total War game, even if it lacks the name).

    I went out to San Francisco to preview the new item last week. It was basically a press members only event, and I am under a non disclosure agreement until later in the week.

    its a Rome II expansion Medieval III or other like empire II there is no way its a Warhammer total war sorry people it would just be a bad idea it would alienate to many people, a lot of total war fans like the history behind the game and realism this would just throw off to many people. My bet is Empire II but i want to see a Medieval III or a China Total War.

    @GED: This may be offtopic, but I am not able to see the result even after voting. It still shows me an option to vote, and clicking view results brings me here.

    I've posted is before, but posted it again here for new audience. We will see expansion for Rome II for few more years because David Gibbins is suppose to write 4 books related to the game.

    We have Destroy Carthage which comes together with the main game but none with the 3 DLCs (CiG, HatG and IA).

    However there's already a second book titled Sword of Attila which is scheduled to be released next year.

    What I see is another 3 'big' games related to Rome II and not just mini campaign DLCs and that surely took our Medieval III out of the run, unless the later expansion for Rome II is for the very late period centered on eastern Roman which focus on late dark age to early medieval age (like Viking Invasion era).

    As the announcement mentions Total War specifically so it must be about Rome II expansion and definitely not about Warhammer game which is not part of Total War series.

    Do you think Creative assembly would support Rome II for 2-3 more years? I can see this next announcement being a huge Rome II overhaul but I would like to see where they take the next tittle in at least a year from this announcement. Happy to see we are on the same page with the hole Warhammer idea.

    Yes. Next immediate expansion is possibly something semi-standalone (like FotS) but the other 2 will most probably be total new game/engine but related to Rome II era. Warhammer is a different game which is not part of Total War series so they can both release together, the Rome II expansion and Warhammer game.

    I see if what you say does happen then i would not mind seeing more Rome II on a different engine.
