I want a pike&musket era total war. But I'd settle with Rome2, or even Shogun2...

It's got a Late Era campaign that starts in 1321, so should be perfect for pikemen and muskets, only trouble is it last only until 1450 I think. There's also one called Renaissance Total War, that focuses on that later era. And there's one about the English Civil War. Haven't played either of them so not sure how they play though...
Considering that Empire will go well into the 1800s, hopefully past the Napoleonic wars, it will have plenty of opportunity modding for instance the American Civil War, Zulu Wars etc. The problems come at the start of the 20th century when armies started to use less large formation tactics, and that will require a whole different approach for the battles.
