Greece: Total War

[McMoose77]

IDK if anyone here looks at the M2TW forumns, but there have been a great number of rumors stating the next game (after kingdoms ofcourse) will be Greece: Total War. I think this would be great, TW going back to more simplistic things and better quality games.

(Oh yeah...the other rumor is the next game just could be a fantasy one, but I highly doubt this, and I really hope they wouldn't venture down that path)

[Jimexander the Mighty]

Now I LOVE greek units as much as the next guy but I dont know about having only hoplite on hoplite action, it may become boring.

No i dont fequent the Medi 2 forums i was so disapointed with that..... game i jsut try and forget i ever bought it. Nope i havent heard either of those rumours but i tend not to put much stock in rumours tbh especialy TW games for some reason people's imagination goes into overdrive in relation to rumours of TW games, so i usually wait for offical confirmation

[McMoose77]

Yeah I know, but I was just excited if it could be a Greek one, it would be very metal. But, a fantasy one, well if they did that then I would never buy from CA again. They are one of the few companies that can make some amazing historically based games but if they went fantasy...OMG

[Racer X]

Well, I don't think it'd be totally Greek units, that's like claiming Rome: Total War was only Roman units. I think the idea is that it'd be set around 500BC, whereas R:TW is set around 100BC. So you would have other factions like the Egyptians, Scythians and Persians, except they'd look as they did during the classical Greek period.

I think it's a great idea.

[Zephyrus]

It wouldn't be a bad idea, but CA is taking their games to a time arc that slowly becomes more and more modern. It would actually be more likely to pull the fantasy crap in a future game *shivers*

[Sir Francis]

I agree with Racer. The Mediterranean world around 500 BC would be fascinating for a TW game; aside from the factions mentioned, you'd have Etruscans/Rome, Carthage, Illyrians, Thracians, Celts/Gauls, etc.

In fact, if it was set just before the Persian explosion you could have Lydians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Medes etc too - some very interesting cultures and military systems. But as SOR says it's all rumour and conjecture.

Go fantasy? There are so many fantasy games around and so few decent historical ones that I would be surprised if the Gods allowed it!

[Clone1710]

I´ve hoped that there will be a remake of Shogun:TW....

a game at the period around 500BC is not needed in my opinion

Ran No Jidai Owns. Or will. Eventually.

Why's that?

I know thats what I said!!!! Plus I totally agree that there are too many fantasy games out to begin with. CA would be jumping onto the bandwagon and into a market that has already been completely tapped. I would love a GTW, it would be like hegemonia but with better graphics, (and probably a little less historical but thats normally easy to fix).

[Pontifexus Maximus]

Let's hope that rumor is true, but not the part thats says it would be a fantasy, which would be a mockery

[Sir Francis]

Actually, if Hegemonia turns out as well as I suspect, we won't need a GTW!

If this is the case, I'd actually quite like to see an early modern/Renaissance version of TW - 1500-1700: Spanish Armada, Dutch Independence, Wars of Religion, Thirty Years War, the Ottoman threat to Europe etc.

[Gelgoog]

i would hope if they did a greece total war, that we would get some bronze age content in there. i mean the whole trojan era is completely ignored, but the warefare during that time was very diverse. be kind of nice if they did it like medieval where you had periods. say early period is (egypt, assyria, hittites, myceneans, minoans, ect) then there is the disaster and the dark ages which evolves into early greece era, and then the last period ends with alexenders rise.

There is too few knowledge about warfare and way of living in the period you've mentioned. A possible GTW would be better to focus on the archaic and classical periods(Gr-Persian and Pelloponesian wars as well).

Hell yes- I thought the reformation period was the obvious sequel to MTW II - Greece would be completely unrelated. Pikes and muskets and buildable forts gallore...

[McMoose77]

If you haven't already you should really check out Troy: Total War. I think that it's great, I've been playing it for awhile now (well, until my alienwares freaking motherboard just fried ) and I love it.

[Sparton Matticus]

I would like to see a greece total war. I agree with what racer says. But i think the game would have to have alot of depth and detail in it. A bit like EB. But thats just me dreaming! haha

And i think the factions would have to be increased again. Maybe by 5. And the map would have to be much larger.. new resources... new buildings... new animations.... new every thing! but keeping in the totalwar traditions... oh and sea battles would be a worthy addition.

[spirit_of_rob]

Certainly i know when we were making the faction choices we had to leave some out that we wanted in their to keep rome for what we felt were more important.

A larger map would have meant we could have had the Greek colonies of the far west medit but as we cant that particular day dream will have to wait.

Still we hope when we make our release you will have ur desire for classical Greece fully sated..... and it wont be as buggy as a game recently released that i could mention but im not going to.

Hi

I´m looking for some mode like Greece:Total War.
Exactly: camp. map - only Greece, Turkey, Thrace and Macedonia, South Italy, Cyrenay - min. 40 provincies.
units - hoplites forms falang (classic RTW + new skins and units), but some more meele units not-falang, more cavalery, more navy...
nations - only Greece like Athenians, Miletans, Spartans, Syracusians and more - each of them some original units. NO ROMANS
game obout - this game should be about The Peloponesis Wars but some more temas are allowed.

If anybody knows game built on these conditions, please, could you send me some PM with download-link... (No Troy or Greece rise mods pls.)
But I thing, this game don´t exist, so I will be happy if someone ask me to help him with a new mode...

I´m sorry for my English
