Next Total War could be an actual conflict

**Matamoros** · December 04, 2010, 09:44 AM

I don't know if that's something it was here mentioned, but I found this article today explaining that the next TW game could be based in ancient China wars or change settings towards modern wars.
Now it's hard for me to believe they really are going down this modern war crap and I would like to see if someone here could direct to the original english source?

Does Modern also include WW1 and WW2? If so I'm happy with it.

WWI would be the most modern a Total War game could safely go. WWII would be sketchy, but dueable. Anything beyond that would be (IMO) terrible. I don't think that they would go for a Chinese based game so quickly after Shogun II, either.

Yep, maybe. I think they'll continue with this ETW engine and do another game (or TWS2 semi-expansion like NTW), and then go to a new engine with TWR2.

My guess, they are going to make renaissance-like with land and sea combat, because they have to make the most of the new warscape engine. And neither Rome or WWI fit in that engine: old musket firearms and old cannons. Plus, the naval warfare can be exploited accordingly with galleons, naval invasions and the like.

World Wars do not fit total war game.I think as the man above me said renaissance is the best candidate.

I feel the more recent the setting, the more the problem with the tech tree.
The rate of technological advance exploded in the twentieth century.
Perhaps not so much in the Great War, but in the second world war it gathered real momentum.

In a space of six years you go from some countries still fielding biplanes (admitedly in small numbers) to the jet age.

I suppose things settled somehwhat after the Korean War.

What do others reckon?

CA can't avoid this much longer:

Cant wait to see how they do this. The Japanese will be pretty cool. Just hope they do make it good, with not cloning factions. Which i fear they might do :/

World War settings would be he ultimate.
You could do some serious modding.
Imagine all the fancy technology's - Jetpacks, V1, V2, Diving units, Subs!

Plus all the tanks too! The Modders would have a field day having all kinds of extra goodies to play with

It would be a great game. You could play as many different factions. Maybe S. America siding with the Axis and opening up a vulnerable front into the US caribbean territory's.
I can't wait if they went with that.
