As promised (story), the Total War Community site now announces the next 3D real-time strategy project from developers Creative Assembly, entitled Crusader Total War. More information can be found in the current issue of PC Gamer UK (for those lucky enough to have received their copy already), but here is the brief description of the game's premise:

Set in Europe during the Middle Ages, a period of 400+ years when all of Europe was in a state of almost constant warfare and violent upheaval. This is the period from the First Crusade to the Holy Land of Jerusalem, to the fall of Constantinople and the Spanish Reconquista.
