Yes a Shogun: Total War would be very cool
Anyone remember the old Koei games like Genghis Khan and Nobanaga's Ambition?
Or maybe they remember Shogun: Total War?(reads like you don't know there was one sorry if I'm mistaken)
lol yea i remember it, funny they did medieval 2 before Shogun 2. Its definitely time for an upgrade since its been 10 years.
At least they are staying away from Total War:Modern Combat or Future combat. I do think a fantasy total war would be pretty cool though.

And here's your elite unit!
Rome II FTW.
I'm still loving Napoleon though.
So the time dropped from 1769 to 1751 and then a few hours later to 1744. wtf
The community manager says the timer does not end at 0, so who knows what that means.
Also, they tweeted a haiku (Japanese form of poetry)
"In Spring it roams not. /
Maybe eastern sun rises /
Nor will it show guns"

The line "In Spring it roams not." may either allude to no spring release, OR it may refer to the Spring period, a Chinese era of history.

"Maybe eastern sun rises"--this is a reference to Japan which is called "Land of the Rising Sun," but it says "Maybe," so that doesn't tell us much tbh.
"Nor will it show guns." Sounds to me like they're saying no guns for this one. So its either a Shogun 2 in a period earlier than firearms (which is rather odd) OR its an Asia: TW that features an era before firearms were invented.
That would be cool.I'd like to see the next one set in China. Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Total War
In a game? Why do they need that? I find that incredibly condescending, and if anything, spoils the atmosphere.
The fantasy genre is kind of hit and miss. I like games that imitate a Tolkienesque approach to fantasy--i.e. more of a fictional kind of universe with magic manifest more as a kind of intelligence or super-natural power as opposed to being the everyday thing, but unfortunately this games are incredibly rare, if they exist at all. I liked Dragon Age's initial approach, but the wonky armor and scantily clad babes turned me off. So in short, I wouldn't be a fan of the game unless they approached the fantasy genre from an anthropological and historical paradigm as opposed to "lolmagic + puff puff dragons!"
As it is, I think they'll do a WW1/WW2 Total War before they ever do a fantasy game.
