Really I just want another gunpowder game, the setting is irrelevant.

WrightOfWay posted:If you've never played it, Fall of the Samurai is probably Total War's best take on gunpowder combat but I'm not familiar with non-Total War stuff that do similar things to the series. Yeah, I thought about reinstalling that, I guess I should give it a second shot. I mostly was shying away form FotS because the fact that spears/bows/swords still has a decent amount of focus to it means that the tactics aren't as punchy as something like Napoleon, where you're sending the cav around the flank to harass with moving fire until you can get the enemy engaged because if you just run in they're going to stab you with bayonets. Still, I'll give it a shot, I remember liking it quite a bit.

there is a big ridley scott napoleon movie and a big steven spielberg/stanley kubrick napoleon tv show coming out later this year so i would be really surprised if the suits at CA weren't at least having some meetings about another napoleon game

I'm surprised they haven't done more Rome style remasters. Maybe it didn't sell well? Empire/Napoleon and Medieval 2 seem like good candidates.

Rome 1 needed it the most, that thing ran at like 20FPS on modern computers.

I want a Total War: India of some description, whether historical or the Ramayana. There's a lot of source material there. (And no I don't mean Empire). Get outside Europe a bit more. But I'm glad we got Pharaoh not another sequel.

Bronze Age should be a bit more outside Europe than you would think, aside from the Greeks and their immediate neighbors we know shockingly little about continental Europe during this period, we have way more sources for what was happening in the Middle East and Egypt. The Bronze Age Collapse that the game is centered around predominantly takes place in the Middle East.

The map would probably be something of the scale of that old Alexander Total War game, but with a cut of in the east before you reach the Hindu Kush.

I’m excited for egypt. But my dream TW would be a kingdoms like compilation of mini campaigns. Maybe victorian era, do US civil war plus Mexico and maybe Britain and France in play, rise of Prussia with them plus France, Danes, Austria Bavaria, etc, Africa with zulu, mahdists, Ethiopia, etc in addition to colonizers, Crimean war, taiping, triple alliance, fots round two…

I don't think it would be too far beyond the pale to restrict the player to just the union since "world where confederacy won" is the kind of alt-history that is radioactive. It would just have to probably be a Troy-style "saga" release or whatever they called them. But yeah the Civil War is up there on the list of Things Huge Swaths Of Americans Cannot Be Normal About. You either represent it accurately and get review bombed off the face of the planet or fudge the history and yknow *make excuses for the slavers*. Even acknowledging racial disparity in the north is tinder for slaver apologists. That being said, if it ever came out I'd be over the moon re-enacting Sherman's March to the sea.

If represented accurately the vast majority of playable factions would be Native American nations who barely interact with the war at all.

A Total War Silk Road would be interesting. Around the time period of the Tang Dynasty which extended well into Central Asia, you’d have all the kingdoms and nations alone the route. Heck they even have somewhat of a model from Total Warhammer.

Plus the southern planters are part of the landowners interest group in the game which is universally the most hated interest group in the game by players since its the one that prevents you from loving doing anything cool.

Not the same thing as the slavery that existed prior and it doesn't diminish his legacy as a revolutionary icon at all.

Arc Hammer posted:Fall of the Samurai would be almost perfect if it didn't have the awful naval battles. The battles themselves are fine but the strategic map is a mess of single boat fleets constantly harassing your ports and if you auto resolve any battle then a wooden gunboat will cripple your ironclads. And there are dozens of these little fleets scurrying around. that's interesting. the naval battles were my favourite part. It's very satisfying to watch my fleet of ironclads blow up a bunch of wood ships from like a mile away. Keep an eye on this total conversion mod for Fall of the Samurai btw, people looking for a new gunpowder game. it's not out yet, but it's going to be on a map of southwestern europe I believe. https://www.moddb.com/mods/total-fots-series uncreativename fucked around with this message at 14:46 on May 31, 2023 |
