If ETW implemented......

If ETW implemented all the good things from NTW, like supply lines and the options u have when you conquer a region in NTW, and AI, ETC.

I think that would have been better. Becuse as it is now, ETW just is a mess where everybody have a constant war to the end, and it's almost inpossible to get a protectorate. Also its to easy to create armies and wage war on everyone (as its not in NTW).

The things i dont like about NTW is well "Napoleon", the lack of nations to play as, all the big nations have at start to many regions. As to much % of the map/world.

Just a wish... It will never happen anyways... maybee in ETW 2 or if they get another titel, as to not market something that remindes folks of the disaster ETW was/IS!!

sorry for my VERY BAD ENGLISH

Nah i just mean that speculating "if topics" like these, a year after the game has come out and 6 months after the latest patch, are pretty useless. peole don't start topics "if FIFA 09 had the FIFA 10 career mode".

We can only hope that CA has listen and do something about it. (and believe me, in contrast to EA, they do listen do their fans)

The new diplomacy in N:TW is wonderful -- especially the ability to liberate provinces, which lets you create new factions and shift the balance of power. Adding this to Empire would radically improve the game.

And, as you say, E:TW's huge expanse, with multiple theatres and tons of factions to play, is missing from N:TW.

The solution is obvious...

Merge the two games!

Take Europe as depicted in N:TW and make it the European theatre.

Keep the rest of theatres from E:TW. (Possibly increase their scale to the N:TW scale.)

Add a South America theatre (and add more detail to the Middle East, which is horribly depicted in E:TW)

Offer 2 campaigns:
- The Age of Reason, starting in 1700 (i.e. Empire's time frame)
- The Age of Revolution, starting with the French Revolution in 1789 (N:TW's time frame)

Offer 2 time scales, a short (2 turns per year) and a long (6 or 12 per year). Adjust construction and recruitment times accordingly.

Use the N:TW engine for diplomacy, graphics, everything -- it's a significant improvement over the E:TW engine.

Then, if CA really wants to make some money, they offer substantive DLC expansions:

A Far East theatre expansion, with Japan, China, Siam, Burma, Korea and other factions. Not a limited campaign like Warpath -- which is essentially a glorified unit pack -- but a campaign that adds a whole new dimension to the entire game, with new factions to play and a new part of the world to discover, explore, and brutally occupy and plunder. (China invading California? It would be fun to try, no?)
- This expansion might also include all of Siberia, finally allowing for a 'true' Russian campaign.

An East Indies theatre expansion, with Australia and the Indies.

A South America theatre expansion.

A Crimean War Expansion -- A unit pack, using the same maps and game engine, but shifting the timeframe forward 50 years and focusing on the Crimean War (1853), with new units and technologies. And not 6 or 10 new units, but hundreds of new units -- the kind of unit pack that a team of modders would create and distribute for free; is it too much to ask CA to offer the same quantity of content?

An American Civil War Expansion -- Another unit/technology expansion but this time with a 'zoomed in' North America map, like N:TW's European map, and a focus on the American Civil War.

If I was king of CA, this would be the future!
