Next total war game ideas

[tium]

I'm making this thread for people to post any ideas they have for the next total war game.

Ideas like changes in some aspects of the game, whole new game ideas and the like.

they don't have to follow the total war system, as much as they respect some basic rules that characterize total war since the beginning, like the possibility of managing your armies/fleets/cities for example.

Innovate people!!

17th century. Pike and shot. Thirty Years War. Colonialism from scratch. Good stuff.

This.

I, personaly, have a few ideas.

A new medieval\rome but whit a twist: personalized fortresses! You would be able to deploy your own walls wherever you liked and maybe create new rivers or hills inside your city (for some more cost to the final buildings and some more time till the changes are in effect)

Would make some interesting AI carnage battles

Too much room for exploitation.

yes please! like 1492 to 1700 maybe? from the Italian wars right until bayonets replaced pikes would be great. the reformation, the counter-reformation, the great fear of "the turk"/glory of the ottoman empire, the world map being redrawn constantly, small nations like portugal and the dutch still having power... and the hapsburgs...

i dream of that game actually...

Ya, there's a new feature to tout in previews, settle your own colonies! heck, trade theatres would work perfectly in Gao, the Malaccas, and since we're dreaming here even Macao and Nagasaki? there were trade wars between christians and muslims in the Indian ocean during this time that would make for some "compelling gameplay".

How could the time period that came to define modern nationhood NOT make for an awesome total war game?

The problem, of course, is the same as Empire, it lacks that instant appeal of well-known periods like Rome and Medieval...

NARNIA TOTAL WAR!!!!

[Timefool]

Native Americans. Everyone from the northern Inuit to the southern Inca. Pre-European is what I want.

Native Americans. Everyone from the northern Inuit to the southern Inca. Pre-European is what I want.

Early Paleoindian?, Middle Paleoindian, Late Paleoindian, or Lithic, Archaic, and /or Post-archaic period. To flute your clovis or to just use the atlatl I throw that at you.


or get into it in the Formative stage, Classic, Post-Classic stages

Develop your grinding stones and mound building skills folks, plan your possible migration route,
Open diplomatic ties with the Leif and his Viking buddies, or trade tech with the Solutreans people of Europe, maybe even deal with the 13th tribe of Isreal or the Chinese if your in Middle America. Will you hunt the mammoth to extinction or will the thermohaline circulation get them first?
Check with your matriachs before you go off to war, decide to adopt the tribe next door, assimilate them through great ideas, kindness or the like. Or go the bloody route and sacrifice them to the 100 some odd Gods of the Aztec belief system, hurry time ends in 2012.

Polar Bear total war.

[Hannover]

Here is a couple of ideas,

Reformation TW, Luther goes on a diet......

Student Prince TW, see how many noses you will cut off.

Fenian Rebillion TW lets get drunk after we woop the militia, "militia that was militia, crap who are those guys coming across the field then?"

War of 1812 TW, Theme song would be Johnny Hortons Battle of New Orleans intro would be Mrs. Madison fleeing out of the Whitehouse with prtrait of G. Washington in hand.

Boer War TW, Go Winston, Go

Boxer Rebillion TW, Every American naval ground force you build looks like Steve Mc Queen. Get the expanison pack Opium wars for a low price of we give it to you free but you'll comeback for more and then we'll charge you double.

Neapolitan War TW, over faster than you can serve the ice cream named after it.

Someone mentioned a remake of shogun - that would great if they expanded into the whole of China & SE Asia, possibly over to India.

Set say 1000 to 1500, ending with the arrival of the Europeans etc.

Might a good chance to see those massive Chinese land armies with all the banners & of course the Mongols again. There would be various factions/warlords etc.

Like, ideas for Napoleon or...?

Like, ideas for Napoleon or...?

Just Ideas you would like to see in a total war game that you think would improve playability/game play, for some moders, or maybe even the developers ( one can always dream it) to look onto.

Just get some crazy ideas, those are those which normally work.
