Whats next for Total War?

The moment Shogun 2 was released the development team at CA apparently had already begun working on the next TW.
What do you think it is going to be?
What would you personally like to be made?

What I think it will be: Rome.

What I'd like it to be: Medieval, or something from an established universe like Warhammer or Star Wars.

I sure do hope it is ROME.

Rome + Sun Tzu, I hope.

Those are definitely viable, however, perhaps China? Currently that would be uncharted territory for them, something new.

Total War: Africa

Clan warfare at its peak, and all high tier units feature men wielding sticks.

Total War: SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!

Total Peace: The Rebuilding

Total War should make new stuff instead of Rome/Medieval/Shogun.

Well, they've pretty much covered Europe, the American Colonies and Japan. I think an important Chinese dynasty would be fitting for a new Total War game.

I hope Rome2, but I would also like Chinese Dynasty stuff :P

I just hope it takes place in an era where melee combat is king. I didn't like Empire much, but the next standalone expansion for Shogun 2 looks amazing. I also wouldn't mind a Rome 2 or even a Medieval 3.

I hope they're working on Medieval III. Rome would be pretty good too. :)

They need to create a whle new concept for TW now.

1) Customisable troops - uniforms, weapons

2) Customisable environment, landmasses, terrain, buildings

3) Customisable campaigns, objectives

4) Cusomisable eras i.e Romans with spears and Guns or Samurai with blades and jetpacks

5) The ability to upload and share maps/concepts

Although I love TW, the reskinning mostly and refinning of the game is making it become a little tired and repeatative. I want something fresh

Rome 2. Please be Rome 2.

A Three Kingdoms Total War would be cool but they just did an Asian setting.

I think its going to be Rome 2
I would like a Greece Total War, with Spartans and Trojans all that great stuff.

I personally do not think I would buy a TW game if it was space or like fantasy stuff.

Rome 2. Fall 2014. Just in time for the tenth anniversary of the original Rome's release.

Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai is in progress, and has some VERY cool and new features. Integrated land/sea battles, bombardment from sea, port sieges, player build railroads to speed troop movement, first person control of some units and so on.

As for the next full game I'd love a Rome 2, BUT it would have to retain the faction diversity of the original and not have copy/paste armies like Empire/Napoleon/Shogun 2.

I know it won't happen, but I'm tired of the conventional themes, Shogun really needed a remake it was ancient, but that's where it should stop imo.

I'd really like to see a TW in Africa.

People demanding a WWII Total War or a more "modern" Total War don't get it.

Total War has always been about formations, and that is what gives the game its sense of scale without being terribly difficult to control. Imagine commanding more than several dozen tanks for a battle or something. The pathfinding would be horrendous.

Good question. I bet it will be rome, which would be cool But i'd rather have it be something totally different. like WW1 era.

they're working on ROME 2 at the moment and some DLC for Shogun 2.

Total War needs the navigation AI from Supreme Commander 2. Look at this! Imagine how AWESOME the battles of TW would be with that AI. Man, in vanilla Empire they can't even move in a straight line.
