I know alot off you where as disappointed in Rome 2's release as me, it's a enjoyable game now though after 14-15 patches or so but it's already time for CA to announce the next one in the serie.
So there is alot off rumors going on that it will be a Warhammer Fantasy based game this time around, and if that's true it's amazing CA is the right ones to make a great game based on the fantasy ip focusing on large scale warfare between highly customizable armies. I think Medieval 3 is also a great contender for the next game or perhaps a new era.
Here is some proof or rumors about Warhammer http://whec-assets-live.s3.amazonaws...e76481c627.jpg
And a quote i found that looked interesting
CA has recently stopped publicly supporting the Medieval 2 Warhammer mod on the fan website for modders, but GW has wisely decided not to "fox" them, same for Sega; Sega may be a company with questionable monetization and bad customer service, but they don't shoot themselves in the foot if they can help it. Technically being a Medieval 2 mod and being in possession of the licence, it's a "legal" mod anyway.
The community managers/rally point presenters have been shifted around and the previous guys are now part of another team.
CA has "4" known teams (the studio has approximately ~300 staff); Although part of the Shogun 2 team is working on Alien: Isolation, the rest of that team is in fact working on an "unannounced project". The other 2 teams are working on Rome 2 DLC/patches and Arena respectively. The vast majority of the Rome 2 devs were shifted to work on Arena.
Meaning there is a large chunk (a good ~50+ people) who seem to be "not doing anything", yeah their actually working on the unannounced project.
Sega Acquired the licence 3 years ago, judging by the "standard" development cycle for PC games being 2 to 3 years, now sounds about the right time for an announcement of it's release.
4 sources of leaks (including a confirmation ) including a phone photo sneaked out by a member of the press of a Warhammer title being listed on the games in production under the world builder in 2013.
So what do you think will be the next one or what game do you want it to be?
