TW history getting earlier and earlier

i think they should remake RomeTW and
if possible China 3 kingdom

i prefer close combat warfare rather then range combat warfare

I would love it if they go to WW1.

China 3 Kingdom will be damn awesome.

Doubt they'd put China campaigns in unless you're talking of the Three Kingdoms history onwards. There's nothing much going on for China during the 18th Century.

I mean the Chinese 3 Kingdoms.Not in Empire Total War.

Still,by seeing the way Total War is being made.It seems more like they putting the time line of their games closer and closer to our present date.

Do correct me if im wrong.

A WW1 Total War would be sweet but not after that.

WWII is over done.So,i would prefer it not to be made in the first place.

Up to WW1 is enough.

In WW1 and WW2, you'd end up with 120men companies. And that's company level, not down to platoon or squad-level yet.

Yeah,it could be interesting too.

Im already a RTS freak.Most of my games on my computer are RTS.

Im not gonna say 2009 gonna be a good year for RTS cause i used to say that every year.At the end of the year,i always wonder:"Was year ???? a good year for RTS?". hmm.gif

Still,i think this year have quite a lot of RTS coming out.Hope Halo Wars and End War comes to PC too.

Halo Wars will not be ported to the PC anytime soon. Its Ensemble's LAST game. That means after release they close shop. That would mean Microsoft will have to decided to outsource the port IF they decide they want to port it in the first place...

And you know how Microsoft works...especially if you look at past Halo's.

RIP Ensemble...

True. sad.gif

Halo RTS will be nothing but a dream.

Just a question,how good is the in game AI in past Total War games?

I mean the opponent or ally's AI,not pathfinding.

Sorry if i have posted this before.

Servicable...Not great...some of the earlier ones were better(the Shogun and Medieval total war)...The new ones haven't improved AI much...but they claim this one is an overhaul in terms of AI..

Damn.

Guess i NEED a good internet connection now. doh.gif

Still,is it worth getting the game for an almost SP all time gamer like me?

I play single player mode 95% of the time as my internet is always crappy.

Total War games have strong single player campaigns that you can play for a long time. The AI is just a small part of it. It is an empire building game too. Not just straight RTS.

Ok,thanks.

I'll probably get this game then.Need to find the date for the open beta to test drive the game a bit.

I also most of the times never play online but I never regretted buying the Total Wars yet yar, the single player is pretty nice.

I loved how in the medival you unlocked smaller factions after finishing the game the first time, gave it a lots of replay value as some of the races had really different units and buildings.

Nice,it should keep me entertained if i dont have internet connection then.

Keep in mind I am not sure about this new version but if they do it like the previous versions (which should be if they are smart) then I do not think you will get bored with the game too soon  smile.gif

Does it include Medival Total War?

If thats true,i think i'll love this game.
