It's simple, really. Americans are awesome. We stayed out of the napoleonic wars because we figured we'd let the kids play in the sandbox while we got on with serious things.
.. Haha, JUUuuust kidding. Seriously, no, the USA does not belong in Napoleon: TW as they played little role in the period.

I said it many times before - I will fully support American expansion pack for Napoleon if and only if they include the option of burning down Washington. Preferably battle map(s) with White House, Capitol and the rest of famous landmarks where you can shell and burn them. Maybe even recreate the 'rockets red glare'? ^^
P.S. I know 'rockets red glare' was connected to bombing of a fort, not burning Washington.

Same here, I was really hoping that they where going to make one but instead they went down to square one with Shogun 2... Maybe the background of the civil war is too sensative for them to burn their fingers on.
LOL!!!!!! Seriously, it is true that we don't belong in the Napoleonic wars, about the only thing we did was buy Louisiana from the French, and get into a fight with the United Kingdom again and both are only indirectly related. We didn't have a halfway decent military until the civil war, and that was still a baptism by fire and born from necessity. It would be too much work, for too minor a player. We had our own Napoleonic wars during the civil war, but that was 50 years later. War of 1812, Mexican war, civil war, and the Spanish war had been the only major wars we fought in the 1800s (Indian wars if you want to lump them all together). The Spanish war would require a whole new engine to sort out the WW1 type of technology used, the civil war would see excessive ranges fought- but still a good possibility. The Mexican war and 1812 would be the closest thing to the technology used in the Napoleonic wars. The Mexican war was small compared to other wars, and was pretty much a cakewalk once things got organized, as was the Spanish war. 1812 had been brutal but 1812 was also still small in comparison with relatively low troop deployments, half-ass campaigns, and short in length. The only war we fought in the 1800s worthy of a TW title would be the civil war, even to this day we lost more people than every other war we fought combined. It would be interesting to see how that would play out, with only two major factions a new campaign formula may need to be enacted- each state is it's own faction, but answers to Washington or Richmond. You could add fantasy factions like the UK, and France, but then you would need to worry about them being properly represented.

Renactors from the US and England are in New Orleans to commerate the Battle of New Orleans (Jackson vs. Packingham) each January. Still, the US suffered a severe blockade by the Royal Navy during this time. Trees were cleared from inland rivers so barges could be pulled by oxen to ship goods since shipping in the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic was nearly impossible. At one point a pound of sugar in Boston cost the equivalent of 6 months of the average working man's salary. Hardly the success story we in the states are taught about the 'War of 1812.'
On the other hand . I would buy a TW game of the American Civil War.

I don't remember being taught a 'success story' I was taught it was a victory in the sense we achieved our goals, but anything but a cakewalk as the war was brutal with the capital being burnt and a massively one sided naval campaign. I think the only thing that saved us was that the UK was already involved in European disputes and could only use a fraction of it's force against us.

not if you split them up into states
OK, that's 13 cloned minor states. Not really interesting.

Well, if you add Canada and Mexico, maybe a part of Russia or Argentinia,
you coud call it Total War: Conquering America. Then like in RTW: Barbarian Invasion, you coud split your faction, one part coud rebel (as in RTW: BI, there coud be a Western Empire Rebels, but in this case you'd call it the Confederation). When the United States split, you can choose: Confederation or with Lincoln his faction (wich correct name i forgot) ? And after you crush the other side as one of those factions, you'd be possible to conquer the entire North America and parts close to it (Part of Russia, Canada, Mexico etc..) or live in peace. Then there are the Indians, still left, like Crazy Horse, or was it after or before the Civil War?

Hey it would be a lot more than two factions from the political standpoint of the South. The North or the 'Union' was more of a unified country, while the South was closer to a collection of states in a political union similar to how some would perceive the EU. In fact, the whole war was waged upon 'state's rights vs federal rights' The North believed Washington had the capacity to overrule states on domestic issues such as slavery, while the South believed each state had the right to decide for itself- hence being in everything but name independent countries who had representation in Richmond.
Then you had Mexico, and the native tribes that dotted the land in the West, and the UK to the North. You also had Russia in Alaska, and the Spanish in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm not sure how anyone other than Mexico and the UK could be represented halfway fairly though.

ha that would be awsome to play as spain or somthing re-take the americas or as UK takes advantage and invades the US from canada making the civil war a two front war. not to mention what does texas do? stay with the confederacy or maybe create there own nation again and take western america for its self. and ofcourse natives are always a threat. sounds like the perfect TW game to me.
Although I am excited for Shogun 2 coming out (Shogun is what got me hooked), I would like to see the American Civil War (and maybe the Taiping Rebellion as an expansion, since both happened around the same time) and World War I (how many games do you see based off of this?) in the near future. Although WWI would require a more game enhancements and all that, but the American Civil War for sure.
Tho I would like to see a civil war total war truth is the only fanbase that they would actually make any money of is the American fan base, I can't really see Europeans really caring for anything that happened in America at that time and beyond tbh.

Maybe most events considered 'Total War' did took place in Europe ? Nothing really interesting happened in America ( considered 'Total War' ofcourse xD) besides the American Civil War and the American War for Independence. The American War for indepence already made it's way into Empire total war and loads of mods. Personally as an European, I have been interested in the American Civil war, BUT seems boring to me as a total war game because only seeing 2 sides fighting being split by north and South. Europe is born out of countless of Wars and conflicts and has a lot of potential for total war games. From Ancient History to the great Wars in the 20th century. That's why I wouldn't mind seeing World War 1 and World War 2 ( the whole 20th century actually) in a form of a Total War game , because nearly all countries will be involved aswell as America.

Well look at it this way, the war of 1812 has very limited customer appeal.
It is a small war, for heavens sake the British Army in Ireland for the 1798 rebellion was 3 times the size of their involvement in the 1812 war. Also there were French and Hessians too. (Still wouldn't make a good expansion) I just don't see very many people, expecially outside the US buying it and demand drives production... There are better prospects for expansion, if they were going US for an expansion than I say Civil War. Certainly be demand for that.

Mainly because Europe has a much longer history then America, a few thousand years longer so it's not so strange. I am actually pretty dissapointed that CA didn't 'finish' the Empire series with an American civil war content, that would have made the ETW/NTW complete in my point of view.
I think the whole victorian age (Between the ending of Napoleon: total war and the Ending of World War 1) should be one of the next total war games after Rome 2 and the shogun2 expansion :P

Imagine battling in trenches WW1 style.. Whoever attacks, lose Seriously, though: with two consecutive games from late 18th to early 19th century, I don't think yet another one from that era will come out in foreseeable future. I would support a DLC for an American campaign, but I honestly don't see why every game has to include America, anyway. The US wasn't exactly the supreme power of the world at this point.

well actually i beleve it was general sherman that called coined the tactic 'total war' and was one of the first to use it on his march through the south. and yes i would agree most of the wars going on in america at that time were all mostly pritty small scale but there was alot of them ( war of 1812, war with mexico, civil war) the civil war however was not small at all. and as its been said before a TW game of the civil war should cover the whole of north america and every faction thats involed there. canada,mexico,spain, even russia (to a small extent) ofcourse native americans too, (i would even like to see texas as its own faction but allyed with the confederacy) would all be included in addition to the two main playing factions. thats more factions then in most expanansons.

Permit me to disagree with those who think the American Civil war would be boring. It was grand slaughter. I say this never having played the RtI in ETW as I am far more interested in Britain's and France's military as the U.S. was quite the weakling at this time. I also find the clash between Napoleon and his enemies to be the most interesting time of warfare of all (which is why I will never stop playing NTW, as I have RTW & M2TW). A Crimea War / U.S. Civil War (or 'War Between the States' as us southern 'rebel scum' call it) would appease both Europeans and U.S. customers. As a military history buff, who thinks the German/Russian Eastern Front conflict was far more interesting than anything done by the U.S. in WWII, I do find the American Civil War (okay, my only ancestor in uniform from then wore blue, he lived in Ohio) a fascinating conflict, one that includes ironclads, submarines and - most importantly - the minie ball which revolutionized warfare in the mid-ninteenth century.
