My hope is that they do something cool like giving you freedom to go around an open world and conquer the land in any order you want. I get that this would hurt story but I would like to see it tried at least once

That already exists (well apart from the open world part). It's basically the whole point of the Empires versions

Now imagine Empires with open world... We might even get that after the main game is finished!
