China would be neat for sure, but don't you think it would be too similar to Shogun? I know there are alot of differences in their military and culture, but I'm willing to bet that most players would dismiss it as a semi expansion for Shogun 2, rather than a fully new game(kinda like Napoleon).

I would love to see another Total War game set in the middle ages, but I think those guys need to take a break to work on AI and add some needed improvements on the formula.
You might be right:/ As much as I want Medieval to be hooked up to an iv and pumped directly into my blood stream, it's probably for the better that they take a break and figure out how to freshen things up.
Medeival 2:Total War. Watching Vinny and Dave on the campaign map getting vengeful against other nations and watching bad AI do hilarious things would be great.
Maybe it's just that the medieval setting fits in so well with the Total War formula, but good god a 3rd Medieval would be amazing. Thoughts? Besides the obvious improvements, I can think of a number of things that would make a second sequel really shine. Here's a bullet pointed list!
-Siege towers and ladders that aren't just death traps that conveniently funnel your troops onto the business end of a spear.
-The addition of the one shot kill mechanic from later games in the franchise; i.e. one musket shot in Empire will take out one enemy troop(usually). This would probably be better as sort of a side mode kinda thing rather than a mandatory addition, otherwise entire squads of units would be wiped out in about 10 seconds. It works in Empire because the guns take ages to reload and shoot.
-Cavalry charges actually charge THROUGH groups of units, rather than kill a few and then get stuck and consequently butchered.
-Actual navy battles. Wouldn't be as in-depth as Empire or Napoleon due to the era, but it would be nice.

Pends what you're into. For electronica, 8Tracks is pretty good. I primarily listen to electronica right now, but browsing related artists in Grooveshark is always a good way to go.
