I'm thinking about trying to run my own total war game. I think I'll wait for a while before hand but if I do I was thinking of having it based in the not so distant future after the Apocalypse. Sorta like Fallout but not necessarily caused by nukes.
What do you think?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please.
Bonus points if it takes place in an alternate universe where all the doomsday weapons of TW:2125 went off instead of just some of them.

That is a good idea. If you know anyone on the other site (Giants in the Playground) invite them to.

Sounds interesting. Would we be bands of survivors or would we be larger entities, such as recovering 'nation'-scale stuff? Or something inbetween, such as settlements?

I'm thinking settlements or similarly sized things like caravans or raiders. I don't know the Total War canon well enough to do that Odin, sorry I wll put a recruitment thread up on giants but I don't think my friends would be intrested.

Great. Well I will try to get the recruitment threads up on both forums on the 6th of June. Till then feel free to suggest ideas on what you would like to see in the game.

I think it would be cool to have some factions that managed to survive with most of their tech. Like Vault Dwellers, or the Enclave.
Zombies are also cool.

Zombies are cool but I have another idea.
An giant asteroid was going to hit Earth but instead hit the moon. This shattered the moon causing many much smaller meteorites to hit the planet causing much destruction and chaos. Also all the satellites would be taken out by the new debris field as well as the tides being all messed up and other things like that.

Sounds good to me.
How long after the cataclysm did you want to set the game? Minutes, months, decades?
Any weirdness? Mutation, super science that sort of thing?

I'm thinking only the oldest survivors will remember actrually living though the cataclysm. As for weirdness, YES ;D I think mostly mutants caused by runaway genetic engineering before the cataclysm and some pieces of surviving super tech. Mostly stuff that could be found in the first Total War like cloning and power suits. Space stuff isn't totally useless but much more difficult with the remains of the moon floating up there. None of the doomsday weapons. (well mabey the zombie thing ) The biggest problem for all techs is a powersource. Most fuel is hard to get at and solar power is much less efficeint now with the dust and debrie reducing the sunlight that reachs the planet. On that note things will be much colder then normal as a result of said dust and debrie. Not enough to cause total extinction but enough to make things even more difficult.

An alien micronism carried by the meteorite that mixed with genetic technology to creat a new species similar to man (being teh host species) but with certain differences.
