A Simple way of determining the next total war game.

CA have given us a clue with the timer.

The timer will either end in time for e3, or when the next game is released.

e3 is in june. CA have made a habit of releasing games feb/march in the year.

So, all we have to do is, determine how fast the time is running down in a week. Then use the maths to determine what the rough date will be on either of those two dates.

That should give us the start date of the next TW and a good indication if it really is a Shogun era game.

Date on timer 1751 as of 14:43 Friday 28th May

"The year is 1530, for 200 years the Ashikaga Shogunate has ruled japan from its capital in Kyoto. The recent Onin War..."

I did the math.

It is losing around 80 years a day. In the how many days until E3, it will be around 500 AD.

I have a feeling that it does not count down at a constant pace...
I checked once every day (not at the same time of day, though), and I've seen 1908, 1824, 1769, and 1744 (~11AM PST May 28 Fri).

BTW, Equinox, didn't I see you in another thread where you mentioned a friend who provided some "inside info" on Rome vs. China Total War?

Yes, you did. But then he posted this:

The timer has significantly slowed down.

Right, and I've been advertising the theory around to fit the explanation of that haiku tweet by CA...
