Empire: Total War Contest Wrap-up

In return for three copies of Empire: Total War, we asked you to give us your best suggestions for Creative Assembly's next Total War game. The results were a mix of predictable and very much unpredictable responses.

The most popular periods of history for Total War adaptation seemed to be the American Civil War and World War I, while a sequel to Shogun: Total War is clearly wanted by more than a few fans. Modern day and futuristic Total War games were also popular choices.

A few entries provided some humor to the serious strategic pitches, such as robosextoid's pitch for a Total War game based around his ex-girlfriend. Insect-based concepts by fugu124 and good man represented some of the more out-in-left-field, but novel ideas.

But only three random winners can ultimately walk away with a game. All three will receive a copy of the game, with the other ancillary prizes divvied up as equally as possible. The winners:

Thanks to all for participating!

    My suggestion is to allow the player ( my self and others ) to be more tested.. Insetad give the pc a mind of its own. Allow them to hit us yet still follow some type of historical pattern. We as the players should be the ones changing the history not the PC so the PC should have to adapt to what we do.

    Give "short stories" in the campaigns. Make each period like 500 - 1000 years long, and in each campaign there is a certain goal(s) to obtain. By obtaining the goals for your caulture you gain recognition, fame, points, or whatever for the following period. This giving the player more to play for when advancing.

    This could be a great opportunity to lead up to whatever adventure your team has thought up for the next game in the series. For instence, lead up to the Vietnam war, have a short campaign to end the game with. At the end of the game as peace seems to of finally fallen over the world for a short time a mushroom cloud in the distance could be shown. this could be the begining of the cold war. Was the mushroom cloud real or just a nightmare a young soldier was dreaming of on his trip hom ???
