I'd love to play Expeditions game set during French Revolution. It's my fav historical event, but unfortunately it's unpopular opinion.

Well, I like older eras better. But it could be interesting. You could have clash with future Napoleon. :-)

Honestly, an Expeditions game set during the Napoleonic wars would be stellar in my opinion. Just don't make the main protag a general or something, I didn't like what Rome did with that whole aspect of the game and would prefer the scope to remain small-ish; other than that, I'm jonesing for some musket fire, bayonet charges and light infantry shenanigans.

the first expeditions game (Conquistador)is set in the musket era. they've improved their systems quite a bit since then it would be interesting to see what they could do with that era of warfare all these years later.

Well Expeditions should be also about exploration and not just military conquest. So in this regard Napoleonic wars are not the best example except some periods, for example Napoleons campaign into Egypt would be great as Expetidions game. He was smart enough to take many scientists with him so it was as much "complex exploration" as you could dare to hope in this era.
It wouldnt be really small-ish but more small-ish than his later campaigns. :)

Oh sure, I didn't mean this time period and area specifically, it's just the first thing that popped into my head. Just wanna see an Expeditions game with line infantry and gunpowder, they can decide the rest.

I suspect this isn't the best place to ask, but I read that Embracer closed down the Campfire Cabal studio that supposedly was set up to handle subsequent projects in the Expeditions series.

I am hoping that even after the studio's closure Jonas and the other minds behind the Expeditions series will land on their feet and that the series will continue.

As a history nerd with a fondness for tactical rpgs the Expeditions series is one of my absolute favorite trios of games and I hope everybody involved is doing fine amidst any upheaval they may be experiencing.

That would be very bad news if its true.

I also hope so. But with different name. IP Expeditions stays with THQ.

I checked their LinkedIn page, and it looks like it's unfortunately true, Campfire Cabal got axed as part of Embracer's downsizing after that deal fell through.

So...

Buy successful studios, then close them up is a "business strategy?"

This week the Swedish video game and media holding company, which has made countless headlines buying up everything from the IP rights to Lord of the Rings to the studios behind Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Borderlands, announced it would be “restructuring” in an attempt to make itself “a leaner, stronger and a more focused, self-sufficient company.”[www.theverge.com]

In recent years, Embracer has been on a dizzying acquisition spree that’s seen its size balloon to include 138 internal game development studios as part of a company footprint spread across 40 countries. In addition to the companies mentioned above, Embracer has also scooped up World War Z developer Saber Interactive, the USA’s third-largest comics publisher Dark Horse Comics, and board game publisher Asmodee. Axios cites one report that says Embracer spent $1 billion across 20 acquisitions last year. [www.theverge.com]

Some suit made a killing on this, for certain, but WTF Batman.

^japan would be really cool. there's tons of action games that use medieval japan as a setting but almost no rpg games, and i cant think of a single turn based rpg set in a historically accurate japanese setting.

Why Medieval Japan? I mean there are other periods of Japanese history that can be used. The expedition of empress Jingu to Korea and China around 200 AD is an interesting period especially as it coincides with the three kingdoms period in china and in Korea. When she returned to Japan she had to fight another member of the imperial family for the throne. In the game, the Jingu inspired character can be a male or female adventuring emperor/empress and s/he can meet everyone from the Romance of the three kingdoms and maybe participate in the battle of Guandu 200AD deciding whether Cao Cao or Yuan Shao wins. This might be even more expedition style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Jing%C5%AB

Or the formation of the Mughal empire or Maratha?

Base game: Ghenghis's expansion, you character advances within the Mongolian court etc as you win victories for the Khan. You fight all the way through with Ghenghis until things settle down and his empire stabilises.

could also just take the place of genghis like how E:R does with caesar. this is a really good idea!

How about Timur? I would love to see a game about Timur or even Nadir Shah. Both started as outlaws and then entered the service of a local ruler before they take their place. With Timur, there was always a khan, but he never had any power.
