I know none of this is official, but I want to just get my ideas out for what I think the next total war game will be. Since Creative Assembly won't say anything until it gets close to release date, I can't help to think about it. So this is my idea.
Napolean: Total War (or something like that). Like with muskets and stuff. It would be in the Age of Exploration and stuff. I mean, when you think about it, tactics were very similar to the Rome times all the way until the mid- to late-1800s. and I don't mean guys with shields and swords hacking away at eachother, I mean rows of men staying in nice, neat formations, hacking away at another formation until it was broken completely. So all Creative Assembly would need to do is make the skins, weapons, effects, etc. I hope that a cannon blast would make a crator in the ground, that'd be cool.
Anyway, I just had to get that out. Can't wait for the next Total War game!
Also, I have to add that people on the Star Wars: Battlefront forum are starting to bug me. "Can you play as Jedi" and other such questions have plagued it for months now and never seem to go away. Oh well.
