Suppose I'll end up getting a crappy late release then, even though we have a CA studio here.

I want a total war game in a more modern concept(1800-2000 perhaps)

Napoleon: Total War would be an interesting possibility.

Actually, on second thought, I can see some validity.

The engine would need a total revamp, but any era of war after 1910 would be impossible to have a Total War series on.

Octavian · 2004-09-13, 05:19 PM

Yeah but they'd have to write a completely new engine. The TW one isn't meant for ranged combat.

ChewyLSB · 2004-09-13, 05:24 PM

But combat has evolved so much since the era that Rome: Total War takes place in. Modern Combat doesn't evolve large scale battles like that anymore. Modern Combat is more small scale and is more concentrated on precise movements and surgical strikes.
