They should make Total War 2121. Lasers, battlesuited infantry, giant armored mecha (Mechwarrior-style, not silly anime style), railguns, micronukes, orbital insertions, kinetic strikes...

Either that, or a fantasy-based Total War.

They'd both be sweet, though I'd prefer the sci-fi one. It would be unbelievably hot.

- because non anime giant mecha are not equally silly and impractical? : spdon

Looks good, but I'm wondering what their next project is. I loved Shogun, thought Medieval was good, loved Rome, and Total War 2 just seems to me like just another "step up" from Rome rather than something really new and cool.

I want Napolean Total War!

    Napoleonic era is my favorite, but I agree that huge, massive melee armies is where the game excels. : Sturm08

These look like a bit of a graphical downgrade from the initial announcements which looked gorgeous:

Perhaps the performance hit was too much. Oh well, after the greatness that was Rome:TW I will be getting this anyways, although it would be nice to goad friends with custom screenshots on the level of that first set.

I wonder if they can make the UI a little bigger. I mean seriously. Do the unit icons really need to be *that* large?
