Wouldn't the units during this period be even more a like than in Britannia?

The funny thing about that is the "period" in Thrones of Britannia is what?  About 200-300 years.  Roughly the same for waring states or whatever for China, while the "Period" for
The Ancient Near East/Levant would be say 3500 BC to 500 BC or about 10 times the unit diversity.  The earliest Armies would barely have enough crude shields and stone-tipped spears to go around and no chariots or cavalry.  Later armies would get chariots and cavalry and composit bows and iron weapons and good armor etc. etc.  And the Assyrians would be the top force to emulate. or the Persians or the Hittites or maybe the Babylonians.  Maybe.  I said  "maybe"...the Babylonians.

Three Kingdoms is set around 200 AD.  Set in the crumbling Han dynasty, so everyone would have Han dynasty tech.  But take note, the best TW in my books is Shogun 2.  Somehow they get it right when factions are mostly homogenous.  I'm speculating that they'll put in some fantasy stuff to make it appealing.

Couldn't hold off anymore  :'(
Same with me. Was going to hold off for quite a while, but finally gave in. Bought it through Fanatical and saved $10 off the Steam price.

How about a "Grogheads Total War"? With Bob as a Ninja Assassin and Gus King of Flanders? Ned Flanders I mean.  :2funny:

But what period would you set it in?  Obviously some of us go a ways back, but it'd be a stretch to go much before the Crimean War and still be historically accurate.

A lot of us were praying for a Victoria Total War, 1837-1901, for a while...still praying, Father.
