Next historical titles hopes!

Probably a bad time to post this because of the WH3 hype train going full steam. But I will be able to link to this if I was right and feel good with myself.

I hope the next historical title will be compatible with the next one after that.

Warhammer has shown that people want a truly grand campaign. If the next historical game is Medieval 3, which I think it will be. They can also release a "Three kingdoms 2"(I don't think that will be the name) The maps can be connected and you can as France conquer East Asia after you are finished with Europe.

Three kingdoms also showed how they can use the same map to start the game in different time periods. I would love to start the game in 1400 as the Sicilians in one game, Djengis Khan in 1205 in another and then as the Normans in 1066.

This brings me to my next hope. Total War: Pike and shot will be an expansion or it's own game that will work with the the base game. Leading up to Total War: Empire 2.

Think of a campaign starting in the early 1000's leading up the 1700's

Want to play with 1600's technology but not have painted the map, easy, just start the game in 1580. No fixed start years, but a year slider with possible start nations and goals changing on whether or not the nation existed at that time. Kalmar-union anyone?

Technology would be a major factor, be the first to invent plate armor, stone castles or gunpowder. Giving you a temporary advantage. Technology would, like in the real world spread with the initial inventor only having a head start.

The amount of DLC possible would make this the next big cash cow for CA. A historical strategy game spanning hundreds of years. As a Norwegian I would totally buy the Viking DLC with Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

I hope this doesn't completely die with the 9th legendary lord leak, but having played a lot of AOE4 I miss a modern historical Total War.
