Funny you give those three examples because in all of these series i prefered the old one. For instance after medieval total war (the one after shogun) everything began getting worse.For me all the atmoshpere of has gone.
Also i really hate warhammer 40k dawn of war 2.
The same aplies to C&C. After westwood closed doors it hasnt been anywhere as good.
I just hope sh5 wont follow such a path.

Let them innovate, lets see what we get, and then judge it.

Can't disagree with those sentiments

I think we are lucky ubi chooses to continue to produce a game which lets face it is a massively niche genre, im sure their accountants would rather they just pumped out another assassins creed/splinter cell sequel etc to bring in the guaranteed cash, rather than taking a risk with a subsim, even if they are tying to give it more mass market appeal it`ll never be a game for the console kiddies.

BulSoldier - I can't agree with you on C&C or Total War. It is fair to note that the Medieval ones - both the first and MTW2 - were not nearly as good as Shogun, or Rome. Empire I would put in the middle. Rome really recaptured the majesty of Shogun. Just proof that innovation can be good or bad.

As for Warhammer 40k - I agree that DoW2 was a step in the wrong direction. However, would you say that Dark Crusade and Soulstorm were better or worse than Dow and Winter Assault? For me, DC and SoulS were by far huge improvements.

That is why I say its ok to be skeptical - but lets not slam every decision when we don't know how it will turn out. That was my point.

Agree with you CaptHaplo,,a point I also have tried to get through.

I mean that all ideas thrown toward the game is just fine, but we must also remember that to some extent that we are talking about artistic work here and the same when I write music, you can't get it all to work for everybody.
They have for sure have a basic "map" for the game (SH5) that they try to get through, at the same time as they are listening and looking at Forums like this with all the "brainstorming" going on in here to also implement as much as they can within that map they have.

My biggest point of critisism is that if everything was followed from many viewpoints in advance about the game , we would just have a "new" SH3 with "new clothes" (graphics),,and that IMHO would be kinda boring.
I want to be surprised in a good way.

We'll see if I'm right or wrong, the game must be allowed to be released first.
