The title says it all, vote now!

I definitely am, been wanting this for a good few years now, and it's finally coming! :D

Quote from: "Silver Wolf"Not really... I'm looking forward to Rome2 and Medieval 3...
Medieval has already had a remake, but I think Rome 2 will come after Shogun 2. The Total War series has gone as recent as it can in terms of history, so now it is doomed to endless remakes.

We still haven't had an Americas-based game, or a wider Asian game. So Inca TW or Mongol total war could be made without being too remake-ish.

We did... Americas campaign was part of Kingdoms expansion for MTW2...

Yea, but one could create a game totally based around the Americas in much more depth than that was, and without pesky invading Europeans messing everything up.  :D

And the Mongol idea still stands.

There's not much information about life and politics in medieval Americas before the arrival of European conquistadors ...

About the Mongols... Yes it could be a standalone game based on Genghis Khans conquests (like Napoleon for example) and/or other parts of their history...
On the other hand it could be a good material for some kind of expansion...

And what about  : Africa : Total War  :D

How much information do we have on the African tribes before europeans started colonizing?

Almost nothing... I was just joking... That's why I've posted the smiley.

We know quite a bit about both actually. Less so than about Europe, but easily enough to make a decent game about the subject.

I'd love to play the Zulu hordes, admittedly. ;)

We don't know much actually... All we know about Aztecs is based on their architecture and codexes written by Aztecs converted to Christianity (Codex mendoza for example).

Bantus would be interesting too...

Yea, but even so things like the mendoza provide quite a bit of information.
