TW must be Historical- Petition

[Heavy Weapons Guy]

Sign people! We must show CA that we want TW games to stay Historical and not go to stupid fantasy with dwarfs and magic. If that happens TW series might die. We don't want it. Don't we? We want Rome II, Victoria, Ancient Greece, China or WW1 etc. instead of Fantasy and Star Fiction!

sorry that im no history geek like you, but dont insult me you . a fantasy game would probably be one of the best they would ever make, no ing about historical accuracy, so many options.. theyd might even have the time to make modding tools.

If you start comparing Total War to Starcraft there's something wrong with your perception of both games as they cannot be compared at all.
And I've seen plenty of fantasy/sci-fi games that stand out head and shoulders when it comes to difficulty and gameplay compared to Total War. No kids play at all. Actually Total War is just kids' play.

Anyway I very much like historical settigs, however I also wouldn't mind an alternate reality setting for example: Germans won WW1 or WW2, Red Alert setting (where Soviet Union is set to conquer the world) or the old Roman empire still exists in 800 divided into three empires fending off barbarians etc.
Though of course these setting could be covered by just mods.

IMO: either CA does all these things by themselves and de facto kill the Total War modding community or CA just provides a more open code with every release in which the Total War modding community can do all these settings.

no. fantasy ftw!

qft!

Heck. Even though I have picked historian as my chosen profession I also enjoy fantasy. While I don't want CA to stop making history based games for the series if they wanted to sprinkle in some fantasy based titles with the TW format I would not object to it.

The closest we have gotten is Third Age: TW, and while I thought that mod was a blast I have never considered Middle Earth to be high fantasy. I guess I just have to hold out for Faerun: Total War.

Thats right! I'm talking Menzoberranzan as a faction! Drow for everyone!

... That would be awesome, i think its beyond ever happening thou, and if it did i doubt it'd include the underdark, although I'd love to lead an attack on menzoberranzan, it'd probably be a nightmare of pathing, with all those stalactite buildings and levitating drow....

I will die if the series go in fantasy. Fantasy simple sucks.

But a science fiction total war isn't a bad idea.

[Praetorian_Mossop]

If it isn't as dull and boring as Napoleon Total War then I would definetly buy a fantasy or sci fi Total War.

Some of the people on here act more like children over this issue then the so call kids who play fantasy and sci fi games

[Sergio_94]

What's wrong with science-fiction?

Why all here compare fantasy to science-fiction? They're so different. science-fiction can be very creative and is as respectable as historical. Fantasy simply lacks of sense.

Someone should open a new topic to discuss the science-fiction part of the interview to Mike Simpson, separate from the fantasy/madness part of it.

Well...

As much of a history nut as I am, I wouldn't mind seeing Science Fiction or Fantasy Total wars. Not exclusively, but a few alternatives to history here and there might be somewhat interesting. There are multiple mods for fantasy and sci-fi, and although I wouldn't like to see TW abandon histry, a change of pace might be cool.

Don't kill me, but a one off fantasy/ sci-fi (if it is even possible to keep it total warry) wouldn't kill me, as as far as I'm concerned, would be quite a nice, if unorthodox, addition. I very much doubt TW is ever going to stick to fantasy, so why are people worrying so much (apart from the fact you'd be missing out on a new TW game for 2 years till the next comes out)

[Greve Af Göteborg]

I wouldn't mind a fantasy based Total War game, as long as it's done right.

Whilst i do have a huge appetite for historical based games, i do feel that fantasy has as much attraction.

I would like CA to do both.

Unfortunately the Total War series seems to be running out of steam(excuse the pun). It has become predictable and tedious.

A fantasy based game would enable CA to create a well balanced game, and not be held back by historical inaccuracies. It could bring about much needed experimentation with gameplay.

There is too much similarity between the total war games now. When i purchased Napoleon, it still felt too much like an old game.

A fantasy based game next would be perfect. I have no interest in shogun total war2,. Its sounds like the same o'l same o'l. I have purchased all the games and expansions since rome. I have lost interest in the series now.

Well anyway, most of the TW titles are fantasy games in terms of historical accuracy imo. But I wouldn't mind if they went that way. It would be... interesting. Interesting to see if they can beat Third age!

whilst i respect CA for their hard work, i really dont rate them very highly when it comes to delivering a polished product.

Europa Baraborum is superior to any Vanilla Total War game. I could not imagine CA ever coming up with something as refined as EB.
