They really should do the high middle ages into the early modern, just because a tercio done in total war would be the coolest drat thing.

Funky Valentine posted:Total War: Native America They kind of did this in an expansion to Empire. Anyway, is there any indication the AI WElves can build the tree? Can they win that way? In fact, is the AI capable of winning campaigns by meeting their objectives, or do they just win by beating the player? ed: Bronze Age TW. It's got variety, it's got room for creativity, it's got a world-ending threat to survive. Kazzah fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Nov 17, 2016 |

They said in the article it's an era they have never done before. Medieval 2 has unlimited turns, but I think the technology progress ends somewhere in the early 15th century. Empire - Total War begins in 1700. So this could be a setting somewhere between 1450 - 1700.

Three Kingdoms China would be great. I'd like either Romance of the Three Kingdoms or a more historically accurate take on it.

Re: Next Warhammer game. One thing I picked up from the various interviews in the last week or so is that CA considers Wood Elfs to be the biggest expansion they are adding to the first game, but there is more stuff coming. So pretty much I don't expect any more major races to be added at this point, just more Lords/units/heroes/subfactions whatever. And Brets, of course. It'll be interesting to see what they have planned for the first couple months of 2017. Also confirmation from somewhere that the second game will also have Four Main Races, (As big or bigger than the first game) so High Elves/Dark Elves/Lizardmen/Skaven seems like pretty much a lock.

Particularly since WE seem to be the first faction that have non-hero women in their armies. At least we know that the Fay Enchantress will be a LL, so we will get at least one by February.

It's a shame they can't have crossover between Vermintide and TW. Being able to hire those characters as heroes in TW would be pretty great.

Hammerstein posted:Actually now that you mention it... I would be guessing at 17th century Europe, with a focus on the religious wars and particularly the 30 years war would be a very likely one. You'd have a period that saw a lot of warfare, quite alot of innovation in warfare, especially when it comes to field artillery, and you'd have somewhat good variety in armies, from Western and Central European pike and shot armies, to cavalry-heavy Polish and Hungarian armies, and particularly in the Polish case they would look magnificent with Sarmatianism being all the rage at the time, pre-Westernized Russia and the Ottoman Empire (siege of Vienna in 1571) would also be players on the stage for a quite different experience as far as both army roster, strategy and overall playstyle would go.

Periphery posted:Total War: Warhammer 40,000 Ugh, no. 40k follows a completely different system than Fantasy does. The Total War engine starts to break down when you get to Napoleon's line infantry and artillery. How would it possibly represent the small squad-based formations in 40k? How would it handle transport vehicles or tanks? In fantasy, a steam tank can still be hurt by goblins with spears (I don't recommend it, but it can). In 40k, no amount of lasguns will even scratch a Rhino, let alone a Predator. And then you have differences in scale. Fantasy has giants fighting infantry, sure, but Knights and TItans are much much bigger than that. Overall, I'd rather see a good Dawn of War game come out than trying to shoehorn in 40k to the Total War engine

I hope it's going to be Three Kingdoms China, that'd be sick, and I think there's plenty of appeal for that type of game even in Euro/North American markets. Dynasty warriors is super popular, for example. Early modern or bronze age would be cool too, though.

ACW is one of the most popular time periods for historical games, plus they have all the mechanics for it ready to go - easy money. They would be mad not to do it.

Basically only two sides to that one might make it less suited, unless they do stuff like portray pre- and post-civil war as well in which case you could have the Mexican war, various Indian wars, and maybe some ahistorical shenanigans with British Canada or maybe European powers like France or Germany (as per the Kaiser's outlandish ambitions to invade the American east coast drawn up in the 1890s) trying to get a slice of the Americas. It might also be cool to build it up as a two-player multiplayer game though with basically just the two sides and the focus almost entirely on warfare and internal politics and economics for each side.

They really gotta adapt the campaign map for that though. Zones of control, supply, fortifications....and so on. Otherwise the game would be over quickly if the Confederate player keeps pushing towards Washington after winning at Bull Run.

You must keep in mind that nobody outside America gives a drat about ACW. IMO they should just go full fantasy or scy-fi and forget historical simulations. Look how much more fun their game instantly became when they are not constrained by "realism" and have ridiculous units, monsters and magic.

I'm impressed with how they're implementing the Wood Elves. They are such an insular faction, I like the idea that their campaign goal is to defend the forest (requiring some expansion into neighbouring territories). It will make them play differently to the conquest-focused campaigns of the other races. I can see them doing something similar for Tomb kings, where the goal is to reunite Nehekhara, fend off intrusions by crusaders/treasure seekers and for the final victory defend the realm against the followers of Nagash(?)

If I were implementing Tomb Kings, I'd guess at something like: Reunite Nehekhara Retrieve the relics (randomly seeded in n provinces on the campaign map, more and further away on harder difficulties). Make them magic items which can either be stored in pyramids or equipped on lords - so you have a choice between using them and risk losing them or hiding them but getting no benefit. Destroy Araby/Bretonnia or sub faction/Vampires or sub faction.
