CA and the competition

[StephanVos]

CA has a very succesfull series yet there seems to no publisher/developer trying to recreate this success. Not to say CA is doing a terrible job, on the contrary, but with some healty ambition I certainly think CA's efforts could be surpassed. Anyone willing to share some thoughts on this?

There were a few attempts as far as I can remember, for example Imperial Glory but it was a terrible mess - waste of my time and money.

CA has a lot to learn from Paradox's grand strategy series, but when it comes to real time battle they are second to none. I know some might agrue CA deliberately lower campaign map gameplay's difficulty but I ve never been satisfied with their work since Rome I. Its too shallow at early game, while requires so much repetitive micromanagement (=boring tasks) later on. Thats the reason I quit most domination campaigns halfway >.>

I think Men of War was a great success. Even with its technical issues on some PCs. It's a fairly epic modern warfare RTS.
