WW2:Total War

I just don't think WW2 would work with total war's current system, the distances are just too great, and once you add in airplanes everything get's really messed up.
WW1 would be bettter, but I still think they should keep to older conflicts. something about adding guns into the games makes me hate them.

Fantasy: Total War (dare I say Lord of the Rings) is what I want to see after they do Rome 2

whatever they do decide to do though, They should realese a scenario or map or whatever that lets you take on the entire earth.

Edit: just saw this thread was from 2009, lol

It would be possible with some modifications. Have a combat system similar to how Combat Mission handles the WWII combat. Planes could be handled the same way that they are handled in Steel Panthers. They come in attack and fly away (or are intercepted by friendly air cover), but out of the players hands. Maybe have air only battles handled the same way sea combat used to be (handled automatically by the AI).

There is a mod already for LOTR, look up the Third Age. It's for Medieval Total War II.

Total War just couldn't work. You could not have a thousand guys with semi auto and full auto weapons with range of snipers in the current game.

Men of War is the closest to a Total War WW2, we will see unless they make majors changes to the game

The tatics just are to different.

World War 1 would obviously be much easier to design, I think it would be a blast.

Imagine how they could capture the dirty and bloody battles.

Why would you do that?

This thread reeks of necromancy...

And no, I think anything set after the disentegration of formation battles presents a problems for the entire real time battle system of total war. (we already see this with Empire and Napoleon, you can't properly represent militia or guerilla units because they didnt fight in formation. The engine creats them as loose blobs.)
