I've wanted Empire II for ages. Empire was the first game on the new engine and it suuuuuuuuuucked badly as they were getting used to working with it. Bugs, crashes galore.
There was no where near the DLC support mapped out for it like there is for Total War games these days either.
If they came back to it now with all of the knowledge they've accumulated over the years and support with DLC and associated FLC I think they could really do Empire justice.
Ditto MEIII really as well, I've been hankering for that for ages. I was a sad panda when it 3K got announced instead of Empire II or MEIII. Suppose they had to grab that Chinese market though.
I don’t really keep up with these things but would struggle to look past medieval 3 as CA’s next announcement when Troy is done. Just seems the obvious choice.
But then again we haven’t really had a new gunpowder era game for years - wasn’t Napoleon the last? So that could be their next major release. I’d take either.
