Why should Medieval III be the only title to carry the historical side of Total War for the next 10 years? Where's Rome III/Shogun 3 or Empire II at this point?

I've been feeling this, but I've felt disappointment. Disappointment in the sense that it's fantastic for the Warhammer fans. They're getting spoiled, and I sincerely wish WH40k is a great success. Honestly. I've tried to get into the setting, but something turns me off, and I don't know what that is. Never mind that.

But what happened to Historicals? Historicals is what made Total War...Total War!

Why should I even post this? You're telling me CA that Med III is only 10 years away maybe, you don't have much to show yet. I, too, hope Med III will be a success.

I don't want to see these titles flopping. But what I am NOT happy is that that's this is the ONLY title? Where's a game made on Alexander? Why did you keep us waiting for an entire year just to give us boring game dev interviews that CA seems to love the format of when they could do podcasts?

I am sure they have sequels planned, but how long are we going to wait for them? How long before Shogun 3? Before Empire II? Are you telling me that it will take 10 years to make another historical? That Med III will BE the only title supplemented by DLC for years like EUIV or EUV, and then that's it? The end of historicals?

Fans have been asking Empire III and even Shogun 3. Its not as if CA doesn't know this. A ROME III TOTAL WAR WOULD SELL LIKE HOTCAKES. I mean at this point they're finishing Warhammer III, and then for the next 10 years dev diaires on Med III and WH40k. It's not a nice feeling. I want to buy a new total war game already. Paradox are unleashing content after content, THEY ARE KILLING IT IN THE HISTORICAL GENRE THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING CREATIVE ASSEMBLY!

I'm annoyed if anything else. At this point just play Med 1212, keep up to date with the dev diaries if anything else, play Crusader Wars Mod with CKIII etc. Paradox, Age of Empires are offering more historical content and CA's Med III will take some time. Also, modders are coming up with full overhauls for Shogun 2 that go to India and have the Empire period and Victorian period. Modders ARE keeping Total War alive far more than anything else.
