New TW title set to be announced on the 24th-28th september!!!

[SanderP]

Why Victoria? Clone armies and some tribal faction, what a diversity.

Hahaha. Seriously.

[Scythion]

Hahaha. Seriously.

Haha. A non-productive comment.

A warhammer total war is a relaistic option.

What the ? Are they serious? Releasing a new game when Rome II isn't even up to scratch yet? Sure there have been improvements in politics, sieges etc, but the game is far from perfect! I paid hard earned money to pre-order this game - I expect CA to work as a full team focusing on fixing Rome II before pissing off to make another game - and let's face it, they've been doing this for months now.

They've done this for each Total War game as I said earlier.

Only 2008, and now 2014 are going to be void of a brand new Total War game or full expansion.

They say on 25th of September 2014 on EGX will be new TW game announced. My biggest fear is it will be Medieval 3 and they completely ruin another TW episode. I loved all TW episodes till Empire. MTW 2 was the best of the best (on my opinion). But with Warscape engine everything went down to toilet. My biggest fear is: If they finish Rome 2 with emperor edition, but they work on new TW episode on the same time, I am afraid Warscape engine is still on and will be used in another TW episode. Because I doubt they can develope any new engine in such a short time. I can see my beloved era (medieval era) fallen apart

[kamikazee786]

If i felt that CA were making medieval 3 then i would say something ominous and deep like this:

History only repeats itself because no one was listening the first time !

But i will not say such a thing since i and many others feel strongly feel that CA will actually be announcing a standalone expansion pack based on barbarian invasion 2.

This Imperator Augustus campaign is what rise of the samurai was for shogun 2, showing the rise of the samurai. It will show the early days of Augustus and the eventual rise of the Roman empire.

This new expansion that will be announced will show the fall of the empire exactly as fall of the samurai showed well, the fall of the samurai

This is ofcourse all conjecture and speculation at the current time. I for one am happy at these announcements. Autumn is proving is proving a good season for games, the imperator augustus campaign will take up some of my gaming time until the ultimate objective of my life, Shadow of Mordor !

"History is written by victors" -W. Churchill. And Rome "True" Total War fans were not winners when Rome 2 came out. But remember that Empire TW was horrible, but Shogun 2 was good, so we still have hope. Even for Rome 2, which actually is a good game, only debate is is it worthy successor to Rome TTW.

Med 3 will be awesome . But it will not be released this soon.

[SirPeacemaker]

Yes but not with this team, not with this Warscape engine. This team has messed up everything they could and never listened to the fans...

[St. Imperator]

They didn't listen to their fans? It was the fans who screamed and cried for Rome II, and the end result was a rushed beta, that took a year to fix.

That's a good point. we all wanted Rome 2 ...if only we had known then what we know now. They listened and made a pile of money i imagine. So maybe we will get a medieval 3 eventually cause they would sell a bunch of copies. I just don't see it as being what they do next. That's also why i don't want medieval 3....they will butcher it. I'd be all right with the Christian Roman empire/Attila era.

I am almost certain it won't be MTW3. We would have had some kind of hint on that by now. In fact, I don't believe it's going to be a historical\realism based TW, but if it is...

I'd say stay away from the development news (a year or so or whatever time it takes) and pop in to check around the last 2 weeks to release. Otherwise, you'll just be told a lot of propaganda crap if it's SEGA\CA doing it. Otherwise It will put your expectations up beyond reality only to dash them like a ship on rocks as with RTW2. Finally, wait for release and see what ordinary common people think, not the official reviewers. Then you can peruse what's happened and making intelligent guesses. It'll much less painful that way and save on sanity. I know that's what I will do. I did it with RTW2 but stupidly cracked and bought it on release, despite not even liking Steam, I thought after Shogun2 Ca couldn't blow it. I waited till about a month after release with STW2 and that was really good.

There's already a thread discussing the announcement. Moreover, CA has declared not to long ago that they will never make a game with '3' in the title.

Yes but this thread is about my biggest fear :p

Moreover, CA has declared not to long ago that they will never make a game with '3' in the title.

Really? So there is a chance they will not ruin the medieval TW greatness.

[SPARTAN VI]

I'm betting on the Warhammer Fantasy title will be our next total war-ish game. After all, they've had access to the IP for about 2 years now.

(edit)

Although R2TW needs quite a bit more work, I wouldn't be too bent out of shape if they cut-off patching so soon after EE launches. I feel the game is finally in an enjoyable state. For the first time since launch, I've actually finished a R2TW campaign (post patch 14), and just wrapped up my second campaign last night.

[lawandorder82]

Are you sure I have not even heard ca say that and there is nothing wrong with war scape engine.

[Xav8er]

[Count von Orlok]

A Victorian TW is a brilliant idea .

1) Time scale 1860 to 1900(not more than 40 years because of inaccurate uniforms)
2) Map: Global or at least Europe, America and colonies.
3) Meaningful resources.(you can't build some units/buildings without some resources)
4) More diplomatic options ( ask an ally to stop a war with another ally etc)
5)Technology similar to FoTs
6)Railway system (like fots) so units can move much faster .
7)Ironclads ships.
8)Breech loader rifles after tech research ,but starts with muskets .
9)"Goals" for some nations. Like Prussia (German unification ) , Sardinia-Piemonte (Italian unification) . Rename them when these "goals" succeed. Prussia->Germany etc.
10)Ideologies should play important role .
