Cobble together your ideal Total War game from previous titles

[Riekopo]

I was thinking of what would need to be done to make the ultimate Total War game. I realized that if the best parts of all the games were cobbled together we would have something truly epic. My ideal Total War game would consist of these parts in general. What about you guys?

• The character development and offices of Rome 1.
• The combat of Medieval 2.
• The building freedom of Rome 1 and Medieval 2.
• The scale, government, politics, and intercept system of Empire.
• The storytelling of Napoleon.
• The art direction, user interface, and multiplayer of Shogun 2.
• The region system of Empire, Napoleon, and Shogun 2.
• The naval battles of Empire, Napoleon, and Shogun 2.
• The battle AI of Attila (maybe).
• The battlefields of Arena.

• The art direction, user interface, and multiplayer of Shogun 2.

It would be indeed superb if the art direction was unique in the same way that from Shogun 2 was unique, if it felt distinctly Warhammerish. As for the interface, I'd even go so far as to suggest a different looking interface for each faction, to better immerse you into playing that faction.

• The battlefields of Arena.

The maps seem very detailed from what I've seen on youtube.
