Wouldn't that just be Civilization only with more of a focus on combat?

Personally I'm wagering they're about to revisit Shogun what with their reworked black powder weapon approach, that and they're due.

Yeah that's actually what I said to Jim in a PM how it would be similar to Civ or what we were talking about how different nations may split or go into civil war when the king dies etc. which would be the only way to keep a nation from achieving total global domination early in the game. There is a Mod for Civ that does sort of the same thing with new nations being born at certain points in history etc. I forget the name of that Mod.

But what do you think an Earth: Total war would be.. It would be just that. A point at which they can work Japan and what they had in Shogun back into the Total war series except this time incorporating everything they have done into the series, which is another point I had made to Jim about how I thought it would go full circle and return to include japan in the next game.

Thankfully in a time where more and more game designer seem to be dumbing down their games to appeal to all the mainstream idiots, the Total war series has actually been adding to the depth of the series rather than taking away from it and I'm betting the next one will only add more.
