What setting would you like to see turned in to a Total War scale game?
>>334583457
Warhammer.
But I would want it broken up into 3 games. And they would need to make sure that one of the factions core to the setting was day-1 DLC.
It just wouldn't feel right any other way.
I'm sure there are LotR mods already.
They should do a WW1 game. Or were WW1 tactics too retarded to be made into a strategy game?
>Just send all your men into their machine guns. It's gonna work, trust me.
>6 hour campaign, manage to take a few kilometers from the enemy
>>334583457
Game of Thrones.
You know it's a perfect match.
>>334584035
Nah. GoT is more about politics and intrigues than battles.
>>334583457Warhammer
>>334583635
Warriors of chaos are still in the core game, but you just can't play as them unless you pay up like a good goy.
>>334584035
>>334584319
The GoT mod for CK2 is probably the best GoT game there is.
>>334584437
>GoT CK2 mod
Bought CK2 ages ago on sale and gave up after 20 minutes. This sounds cool as fuck, though, will definitely check it out. Thanks bro.
>>334584035
try Crusader Kings 2 with GoT mod
>>334584319
Total War has it all, though. Politics and intrigue on the turn-based campaign map, then battles when they can't be avoided.
>>334584545
>I can't read

>>334583818
WW1 is too advanced for the TW foundation. Hell, even Fall of the Samurai was really pushing it, and that was just in Japan.
>>334584629
40K would be better as a Close Combat game.

>>334585057
>TOTAL WAR: THREE KINGDOMS
Romance of Three Kingdoms focus is on the generals so Total War which focus on military does'nt fit, just play Romance of Three Kingdoms 13 which came out in Eng in July
i myself hope a mix game between Crusader Kings and Total War
I can't believe it hasn't been said before, but I would love a pike and shot TW. Basically a game spanning the Renaissance, ~1500-1700. Mercenaries and formations would play a big role, and politics and family management would have to be a lot more developed. Just imagine:
>Be Florence
>Need to manage your Medici family
>Hire some Swiss, Flemish, and German mercenaries to attack Milan
>meanwhile the English and the Spanish are warring on the high seas
>The Reformation is in full swing, and the German states need to manage religious unrest
Would be baller as fuck desu.
But to be brutally honest I just want Medieval III ;_; AoC was a decent starter, I want the main course.
>>334584035
>>334583457
Gears of war, Halo and 40k. It would take a lot of work and probably wouldn't resemble current total war much, but real time battles with a grand map is so good I'd like them to try at least.
>>334583457
Good Warhammer Fantasy game. But that will never happen.
>>334585920
>>334585920
It wouldn't resemble TW at all. You'll get a more complex version of Dark Crusade campaign instead.
>>334585409
I have been interested in the nuances presented by Crusader Kings/ Europa Universalis.
The ultimate Hybrid would be... an RPG/HacknSlash/Grand Strategy mashup.
So, something like Mount and Blade mixed with Total War, mixed with Crusader Kings, where you move up the social ladder, or be demoted/imprisoned/exiled, and build your empire by conquering territories, or work for some foreign prince.
(But that never occurs to anyone, because we gotta respect the lines that define genres, right?)
Medieval Europe or Ancient Rome

Total War: China. Doesn't have to take place in the Three Kingdoms era, but it would be cool to have one take place in China's past.
>>334583457
I'd like for them to make a good game for once. Don't really care about the setting.

>>334583818
total war is about open field battles, WW1 is the war that examplifies the futility of open field battles with modern technology.
The armies would be too small, the units too glassy, the maps too tiny.
Empire/Napoopan already got strange with giant maps for artillery that is not stupidly short ranged and resulted in massive amounts of walking and waiting.
WW1 would be even more waiting and artillery, and much less clashing of actual armies.
WW1 also did away with formations and rank and file, another pillar of TW.
It is basically not doable without being a entirely different game.
>>334583818
>Just send all your men into their machine guns. It's gonna work, trust me.
That was literally the only option they had once trench warfare set in. The situation was so shitty that literally walking across no-man's land was the best they could do. Run across? Everyone arrives piecemeal and get shot by the defenders without doing anything. Crawl? Everyone gets killed by artillery because it takes to long to cross.
>>334583457

A Europe-spanning version of the Age of Charlemagne campaign. That is; taking us from 800 - 1066 AD with vikings, saxons, moors, lombards, byzantines and arab civil war.
A Total War focused on the Bronze Age collapse. Shift the focus to the eastern Mediteranean extending to India. Egypt, Hittites, Myceneans, Sea People...
Pike and Musket: Total War. Set it from the Italian wars in 1494 to the end of the 30 year war in 1658.
>>334583457
I want Total War: Asia with it's expansion, Total War: Genghis.

>implying a professionally done Ultimate Apocalypse wouldn't be awesome
The Imperial Guard would be perfect for a Total War type game
I'm feeling an empire 2 at this stage. The last one built from the ground-up on muskets was Napoleon, I feel with FOTS it was just kinda slapped on top. If they could use the latest engine/tech to build a gun-centric game again with all the new campaign/army etc. Features, and the new options available for custom battles, that would be awesome. I would want it to span a fair range of time as well, so breaking the unit roster into an early and a late period might be an idea. In my head it was always from the the revolution in 1776 up till somewhere around the 1870's, thus re-doing what they already covered in empire 1 again up to modern standards and incorporating a whole other range of stuff as well. Maybe leave out Napoleonic era; game would already be fairly huge at this stage. Expansions could be stuff like American civil war campaign, African land grab etc.
I want a game that captures the feel of Ireland around end of the 10th Century/Beginning of the 11th.
>Dublin has been abandoned and the Vikings have come, raiding up and down the country
>Irish leaders all seeking opportunities to gain power and rise to the position of High King
>Norse power rising on the Island
>Based Brian Boru being born and seeking to remove norse
I think the power struggle in Ireland would make for a good Total War game, based on the various tribes and forces present at the time.
Maybe expand the map into Scotland and Wales, though.
Victorian age. You could cover the Italian Wars of Unification, Crimean war, American Civil War, Franco-Prussian War, Anglo-Zulu War, British Invasion of Afghanistan, and plenty of other smaller wars. The Gameplay could expand on Fall of the Samurai.
Probably a game based around Pike and shot. Probably the British Civil wars or the thirty years war. Might get a bit complex if pike and musket units are treated as one though and the slow muskets might make it a bit dull

>>Just send all your men into their machine guns. It's gonna work, trust me
When is this meme of terrible WW1 tactics going to die? Yes, offensives in WW1 were fucking horrendous, but that was a) because mounting a counter attack was about 10 times easier than holding an enemy trench and b) because you had a few of the largest empires in the world pouring absolutely everything they had into a tiny area of the world.
Getting past enemy machine guns and taking their trenches was shockingly easy, unlike what most people seem to think. Smoke, artillery and weight of attacking numbers made all that possible. The real problems were when you got into the enemy trench that you'd have enemy reinforcements fucking your day up, no allied artillery support (if you were lucky enough that they weren't shelling you) and no way of communicating with your HQ. Fuck this "machine guns were just too powerful" meme.

That's not true, they did a fucking amazing job with Alien Isolation. It may be the most well optimized PC game on release that I have ever played in almost a decade as well as being a fantastic game in itself.
What SEGA needs to do is to stop fucking around and meddling in their shit, let them do what they need to do and they will produce gold.
>You now realise that at one point Creative Assembly used to be under EA.
>>334599435
But formation warfare is such an integral part of TW. It'd have to be a completely different game then.

>>334599097
>>334599354
It's not about not amounting to anything, there's a reason I said base it in and around Ireland only because outside of Ireland (and I guess Scotland) Ireland is not very relevant whatsoever with a few exceptions mostly involving the church.
As for battles, the most famous is probably Clontarf where the Irish lead a brutal assasult against vikingfags and stomped all over their shit, lead by a king in his 80s who died post-battle when a fleeing viking entered his tent and killed him while he prayed.
>who is brian
Brian was a member of a reasonably new and shitty tribe in Ireland, who's brother eventual gained control of a large chunk of the Ireland. Being a ruthless and ambitious bastard with a real hatred for vikings being on his fucking island, he eventually became a based commander who stepped up to the other leaders and said "if you can't wreck my shit then wreck other people's shit with me."
He went on to use those under his command to butcher the vikings in Ireland, only allowing them to live if they were rich as fuck and brought propserity to the various settlements.
Eventually he knocked on the High King's door, told him to step up or fuck off, and fuck off he did. With that done and dusted, he tossed the Vikings back into the sea with one of the bloodiest battles in the history of the British Isles-the aforementioned Clontarf.
>tl;dr irrelevant celtfag
>Poorfag is born and sees irish tribes constantly getting shit on my norsefags
>Decides to into commanding and fighting
>Unites a shit tonne of people under the sheer weight of his brass balls

>Becomes High King

If a game was set in Ireland around his life and you played as Vikings it would be akin to the notifications you get about Attila.

As cool as Brian Boru is and as bloody and fucking crazy as Clontarf was, the Battle of Tara was maybe a more key battle when it comes to removal of Vikings.

Rome 2 is excellent. Content wise it's much better than Attila, but it does miss some of Attila's gameplay features like FAMILY TREE.

Rome 2 is perfectly functional and pretty fucking comfy now, I mean if you didn't fall for the pre-release hype bullshit and only paid $7.50 for the game plus $3 for each campaign DLC there is no reason to bitch.

If they're adding more of the map and 4-5 more races in each game I doubt it'll be 6-8 months between them, probably more like a year at least. There's going to be other DLC like single races (wood elves) and new legendary lords or whatever in the meantime.
>>334603683
Yes, that's a given
I just doubt they'll be charging the full 60 bucks and waiting more than a year in between them

They're supposed to be standalone games that somehow fit with every other game, so it might be possible. Although, It would be hard to imagine a total warhammer without at least the Empire or Greenskins in there somewhere.

>>334596856
>The Imperial Guard would be perfect for a Total War type game
THIS
>>334583457
Second half of the 19th century.
This is probably the last period of history that would fit the TotalWar game mechanics well.
It could include the American civil war, Crimean war, German wars of unification and a shitload of colonial wars against natives involving Britain and France pretty much all over the globe.
In this setting you would early on research the minié ball and develop rifled muskets with percussion caps. In between you would have breech-loading needle rifles with paper cartridges, then metallic cartridges. The end game would be smokeless powder and modern bolt rifles as well as mitrailleuse and breech loading artillery.
But because of muh colonisation and evil cultural genocides it probably will never happen.
>>334606971
Shit I would play that so much, sounds like the perfect time period for Total War
>>334606971
I want a colonial genocide simulator. Looks like the new mass effect might have that potential. They might actually do it since they love their black and white nazi/saint thing, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
