    Icon1 Modern age?

    wouldint it be cool if TW came out with a game in the searies call 20th century total war,
    having jets, tanks and repeating guns? Maybe taking some ideas off rise of nations but having a time frame from 1900 to 2000.

    (i couldint find out how to add a poll{there was no box near the bottom of the screen} so just say yes or no)

    Thanks for reading

    Thanks for reading
    I must say, it took me almost 10 seconds to read the text ! It was indeed a lenghty post, full of splendid ideas and magnificent proposals.

    Alright, sarcasm aside, I think it would suck like hell.

    To be fair I think he meant CA should do it - so it might be slightly more feasible / suck slightly less than as a mod - though judging by response to ETW, maybe not!

    p.s. what's a jar of hearings?

    I was going to be more sarcastic, but I thought that'd be plain rude

    Total War engine is unfortunately not suited to modern warfare, and I think most players wouldn't want it to go there either.

    As has undoubtedly been said before, the Total War engine uses formations for it's game-play, something that has been ditched in modern warfare in favour of a more fluid form of warfare, which can't be translated with the TW engine.

    No.

    That would be the worst thing that developers could make.

    Why is it that there are requests like this for each and every game possible? No, we want Heroes of Might and Magic Modern Warfare, Age of Mythology MW, Caesar IV MW etc.

    I guess Modern Warfare is the new WW2

    For some reason, I don't like guns in my Total War games. I really want to get back to the ancient world. Medieval is pretty much the limit of how late I want to go. Let's get back to arrows please.

    i just started reading this forum today cuz i wanted to see what people are talking about for other possible tw games, seems most suggest rome 2 or shogun 2, i agree that there's no way a modern warfare of any type would work

    but i think that three kingdoms ancient china would be sweet. thoughts?

    An Ancient China campaign could be suitable if CA decides to create something similar to Kingdoms expansion. But you never know when it comes to marketing reasons. Paradox released a special version of Europa Universalis II - Asian Chapters.

    The next TW should encompass Europe and Asia no matter the timeline, ancient or medieval. Would be nice to recreate events and situations for every region at least.
