Histfags, you should just unironically make your own sequels at this point. Even if CA made M3 ir Empire 2 it would have half of the features or yesteryear. Not to mention the inevitable Richard the Lionheart bowing to the advice of his strong unfaithful kween or Frederick the Great having anal sex with his African pages BBC
Empire 2 is basically being made right now for Shogun 2. Go help with that, so maybe we can play it within the next 5 years.
