[jcarlosgonzalez]

There are indications that the next total war could be star wars total war, what do you think?

Honestly, idk, and I'm a bit worried.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Honestly, though, I think Star Wars would be a terrible choice. The very mode of combat wouldn't fit the TW formula, so it would either be a terrible Star Wars game or a terrible TW game.

If I got to just get what I wish for, they'd make Mughal Total War with the area from East Africa to southern China in the early gunpowder age.
Any early gunpowder/renaissance game would be good, though.

No Isthar, I don't have faith either or so I hope that the next total war is not from star wars, I have only seen it in some forum. An early gunpowder era would be good, the period from the 12th to the 17th century would not be bad either, a Ghengis Khan total war, but personally I would like a continuation of the Bronze Age with the beginnings of Rome until the time of the beginnings of the Republic, there were many wars, and a total war fantasizing with Aeneas arriving in Italy and beginning the great feat of the initial survival of Rome, against all the Latin, Greek, Etruscan and Gaul peoples would be fine.

Ghengis Khan Total War sounds good because unlike Medieval Total War the map would also include Japan and China along with Europe/Middle East/North Africa. Would be pretty fun playing as Japan and then conquer all the way to England lol. Kind of like how you could play as Maratha (India) in Empire total war and conquer the Americas.

They probably are done with Bronze Age games because they don't sell well and we already have the early republic era in Rise of the Republic campaign DLC for Rome 2.

Historical games like movies are out of vogue right now. Its not just total war.

I think the most likely total war will be something they have to license for like warhammer trilogy. AGOT, Marvel Comics, Harry Potter, even Star Wars although I think that franchise is too controversial.

Star Wars is not the next total war. Stop spreading false info. Could CA be in early talks to maybe make a star wars game in the future sure...but it wont be total war and isnt even remotely happening soon.

ie. has no idea either

Empire 2 please

[Darth Alpharius]

WW1 thats what alot of rumours around the community have led to.

[Defmonkey]

Star Wars, World War 1 etc are going to be a departure from the total war formula... Not saying it cant work, but its just not going to be a typical total war game....

As for star wars the best on market by far in my opinion is empire at war.... cant see TW formula comparing with that.

Then with both games you have to increase range and distance if going to incorporate the weapons involved.... you would need to be like eugen war games tactical battles to do it properly....

If they do WW1 the campaign map needs to have less resources and more put in the battlemap like HOI.

The other problem with WW1 is that once battle lines were drawn.... it barely moved..... not exactly a very exciting TW game where you are supposedly conquering territory, it wouldnt be WW1.

Either of these would be a dreadful choice. As a consequence I'd just be playing Pharaoh, heavily modded Attila, S2 and ToB in loop for the next ten years.

From what's been talked about across the chatterbox and echoes by the media that's what's going to be - apparently.
Three TW games are currently worked on.
