    Default When will CA announce the expansion?

    Anyone remember when they announced BI after RTW was released, VI after MTW? Maybe CA has a release announcement policy or something.

    Just wondering whent they will let us know.
    GEIR HASUND!

    Dunno, I don't think these "expansions" really have an announcement timeframe, even though the other games promptly had announcements of their expansions. There's no real guarantee that CA's gonna announce one so soon (it's only been like 12 days since the game came out) just because they've done so in the past.

    It'd be nice to know that M2TW's gonna continue on, and chances are, that is highly likely.

    the expansion is just the final patch that you have to pay them $20+ for.

    I wonder what era they would put the expansion in. The Renaissance? The beginning of the Imperial era (could we finally have naval battles with ships of the line?)?

    I was hoping more focus on the Crusades, maybe a scenario with a faction called, "The Crusader States" (after all, they were pretty much their own autonomous state) already established in the Near East holy lands. It'll give more focus on religion (which I like as an aspect of the game) and Muslim factions, perhaps more than just the three that's already in the game. Perhaps Saladin can make an appearance?

    Both very good, ideas, and in my mind roughly equal likelyhood. RTW had two expansions, who says M2TW won't? If both of those are released I would suggest that they would be in that order.

    Yeah it will be called CRUSADER INVASION
    You ask for steak, I bring you fish. You say that you think steak is better than fish. I say that fish is much more popular than steak so obviously it's better. You say that no matter how good the fish is it can't be better at being steak than the actual steak we used to serve. I say that's just your perception and you're entitled to it but you should accept that fish is the future and that's good. You begin to say something but I stab you in the eye with a fork and run into the kitchen.

    By the time the first expansion comes out there will be a lot great mods (see RTW).

    What about "CANNONPHANTS INVASION"?
    Then everyone would have a VERY GOOD reason to hate them

    Talking seriously, they might do something about crusades, or they'll concentrate into renaissance or maybe they'll expand this "conquest of the New World" idea (hmmm... "Spanish Invasion"? :hmmm: )

    Or:

    I played MTW:VI pretty much, so I would actually quite enjoy a VI2, too.
    I could also imagine other regional campaigns than just this one.
    In fact, it would be cool if an expansion would include several of such regional settings.
    A regional campaign around Aztecs, Toltecs, Zapotecs and the like could be one of them, for example.

    Somewhere I had read something about the era of reformation being part of the expansion...
