Nobody is talking about it.
What are your theories (period, mechanics, etc) about the new """historical""" main game/s?

>>2089146 (OP)
I see a plume on the helmet, maybe we're going back to China?

Chinese Warlords Total War, FOTS style combat with Three Kingdoms diplomacy would be kino

>>2089155
Perhaps could be Late Middle Ages, Renaissance?
Looks like a compass rose and now that you mentionated China, could be during Marco Polo's expedition, a whole map of Europe-to-China.
Idk what kind mechanics could have, perhaps as you said, the best of the previous titles, early based-gunpowder warfare.

>>2089146 (OP)
Milk the usual cash cows so more wh and china.

>>2089155
FOtS-like Warlord China would be great. Awesome setting, lots of potential unit variety and a very underappreciated period. Maybe not the best potential thing at the top of my wishlist but it'd be a good one for sure.

>>2089218
Fuck it, make it WW1 as long as we're doing pipe dreams. They could even reuse most Skaven mechanics.

Tfw when it's definitely a pipe dream and the people who made FOTS are probably not there anymore

>>2089268
The studio which made FOTS was closed during Rome 2's development, anon.

What is CA's strategy here?

>>2089146 (OP)
It's just the celebration one for that big months long thing they are going to do.

China is fucking gay and lame

>>2089146 (OP)
Mongol Conquest from Asia to Europe, nippon, middle east, india, north africa, Scandis and slavland included.

>>2089146 (OP)
Total War best about China. China have the greatest war of history. Many Chinese soldiers fight supreme conflicts in greatest empire of time, China. Mongol are Chinese number 2 second greatest empire of time. Total War is finally realize this. Nobody has cares of European small unimportant war.

>>2089289
more warhammer slop for manbabies that buy $85 pieces of plastic and $45 dlc

Aztec shit

>>2089396
Mongol conquest never reached Skandis.
That's the whole problem. Mongol conquest at no point interacted with Ingerland or Old Mexico so it can't be the focus of a Total War game.
Not that long ago someone made a TW map of Mongol conquests and the Cletuses that is TW fanbase instantly went "You should add England, why have Korea or Vietnam, places that Mongols never went to?"

Total War fanbase is retarded. If you wanna make a profit, you must keep that retardation in mind.
Mediveal 3 with off-map Mongol invasion is OK.
Genghis: Total War would have you skinned alive because none of them actually knows where Mongolia even is on a map, let alone care. Pretending otherwise will just have you take the L and sell 20k copies in total.

>>2089146 (OP)
Araby is coming back.

>>2089362
>china is gay and lame
if it's done, poorly, yes it is. But on the off, one in a million, hail mary potential we see an ACTUALLY historically accurate chinese total war game, it would be based as all fuck. Let me specifically order my men to survive a few more turns of siege by eating the people in the city CA, please.

>>2089446
So? You will be able lead vikings, aztecs and ethiopians against mongols and you will like it. Adding bongs is questionable tho, unless they are black like them should be.

>>2089561
>historically accurate
Fuck hhis. I want historically plausible at best. You have few "historically (((accurate)))" games and they suck.

>>2089446
Yeah, that Cleetus needs to be able to play ingerland or groBgermanium at least. They've tried to make different things but the fanbase is just too retarded for this. They'll whine about "names too hard to remember" or some shit again.

>>2089173
We are never getting a Renaissance/pike and shot game.

>>2089742
I want an italian wars or 20 years war total war. It would work with the formula

>>2089146 (OP)
the next game is going to be medieval 3 because so many other titles have flopped that its the only thing they think will be able to save the company. the reason its hasnt been made until now is because they know that they would do it such a disservice that their company will be ruined. unfortunately, they're now backed into a corner, and they're not any more ready to make it. it will flop hardcore and total war will exclusively become a fantasy series of games with star wars games and other media tie-ins.
me? i'm hoping for open-source remakes of every title from shogun 1 to medieval 2 and then we can make our games.

it won't be a histcuck game. histcucks notoriously don't buy games so CA will release hyborian total war or some shit.

i'll bite as long as it's not hero crap. bring fighting focus back to generic units. what they should take along from wh is varied and impactful agents and harsh stack number penalties. never played wh3 due to terminal hero fatigue, but the starts of some wh2 campaigns were absolute strategy gaming gems (arkhan the black is etched to my mind). i want more of that.

>>2089268
>>2089274
I knew I'd hate the reality of the matter but man there really is no hope.

>>2089362
Warlord era China is really fun and cool though.

>>2089409
TW:W is for secondaries.
Real warhammer players are too poor from buying plastic crack to afford it.

>>2089564
This, or better yet historically grounded.
>>2089561
C.A doesnt have the balls.

>>2089745
Theoretically yes, but considering C.A has a habit of botching gun behavior or making it shit, i doubt it. Shogun 2 lethality would have been kino tho

CA hasn't made a good total war game since 2011

>>2090075
2004*

>>2089446
You can always start with euro map and then add map expansions.

>>2089398
>China have the greatest wars of history
>get reduced, downgraded to "one-man-army" (wuxia genre, Hollywood) because martial brotherhood (men can't have good things) is le bad and ultra-narcissism is le good

>>2090137
CA hasn't made a good total war game.

>>2089146 (OP)
Attila 2

>>2089857
Conan: Total War

>>2089146 (OP)
I still don't think CA can make a Warhammer 40k Total War game
Maybe age of sigmar
But not 40k

>>2089146 (OP)
>Total War's new icon
GUYS THATS THE MEDIEVEL 2 LOGO

>>2090296
CA hasn't made a good game
