CA has already proven that it can tackle fantasy scenarios with Total Warhammer but could do so much better with one of the best known and defined fictional worlds ever invented. Third Age Total War is one of my favourite installments and it's not even an official Total War release. We already have Medieval Total War as well as Empire, yet CA has yet to cover the highly tumultuous and ultraviolent period in between (the 16-17th centuries) which reshaped and influenced the map of modern era Europe to this very day.ĥ. We already got a taste of the New World in the Medieval 2 DLC, as well as Empire, but it could function so much better in a standalone that covers not only North and Central, but also South America, starting in the 13-14th century and ending with the European invasions as a late-game threat.Ĥ. Egypt is one of the first great empires in the world, yet has remained relegated to the role of decaying Successor Kingdom in the Rome Total War games. This has already been covered in the overhaul mod Cyrus Total War (which from personal experience doesn't work all that well).Ģ. The Middle East in the 6th century BC, which would cover the fall of Babylonia and the rise of the Median and Persian empires. Homeworld in particular explored ideas of making a 3D battlefield, with top-down or bottom-up attack vectors instead of just a 2D north south east west.Ī lot of theatres have already been covered by the Total War series, but a number of scenarios remain which have already been covered in overhaul mods or DLCs, but could truly benefit from being made a full game.ġ. Homeworld and Ground Control are good examples of older games that were successful with this concept. One downside of this is that the combat in FOTS is already quite stale because of the massively increased firepower.įuture Eras?: To fix the idea of having overwhelming firepower take away a lot of the tactical fun of the modern era, we could move to a fictional future setting where units are heavily armored but also inflict damage with modern or futuristic weapons. This would include the wars of German and Italian unification and the Crimean War in Europe, and the Mexican-American War and Civil War in North America. Victorian Era: One step beyond Fall of the Samurai's era, this would deal with the conflicts in the world from 1820-1900. Mongolian music is also unique and would be draw a strong impression on maps. They also dealt with their conquered peoples in various ways, from total destruction to peaceful integration. The mongols revolutionized warfare and also looked totally rad while doing it. There is so much potential to visit various lands and cultures.
The mongols conquered lands from Siberia to South Asia, from Korea to Hungary. Three Kingdoms was a welcome and impressive addition to the list. I don't want to see a Rome III or Shogun 3.
I think what I want the most from ''Total War'' at this point is to explore new eras and locations.
