Hahah, what a coincidence just decided to take a break from medieval total war 2 and check the forums and first thing I see is this thread :D

I love MTW2 games and I have played all TW-games (shogun being the first one).

I was disappointed slightly with empire total war since I'm not really interested in the era, the system is fine and diplomacy has been made more easy to manage but I just love man-to-man combat with melee weapons.

also Empire total war has some annoying bugs which need to be fixed.

Where do you think the series will go next? Will they go to modern and then future warfare? Do you think they'll eventually try their hands at a Total War that encompases from Alexander's Time of Conquest (Or Persia's) to Now, in a sort of Civilization copy?

If I had to guess the most propable direction they're going next is a fantasy-setting. It would be the most logical direction now since modern/future warfare is fought completely differently (squad-based combat) so with fantasy setting (little like the third age: total war mod for med2) they could keep the core gameplay the same but have lot of new ideas for the series.

Creative Assembly can go to 3 different directions:

- Total War with fantasy setting

- Shogun Total war remake

- completely new series

but of course empire will get atleast 2-3 expansions before they will start working on the next project

 

@hapimeses I suggest you don't rush with your decision to buy it yet, wait atleast until CA will release a big patch to fix some of the problems the game has (random crashes, disappearing sound effects, unbalanced teams, poor AI, etc)
