I hope you right... GCR is quite a large game, with different modes and scenarios, yet I always had a feeling that they abandoned it quite abruptly. It still has some potential... ah, very right. still wonder after years why they skipped like 4-5 centuries of crazy roman typical mindset content (gain land - death - civil war - lose land - repeat) I think they made decision to single out only one period of history in their Great Conqueror games. In GCR it is Late Republic/Principate, in GCS- Sengoku. Obviously it is very difficult to create continuously new content within the given time-frame. In GCR the process ended up with Dragoons and Goblins, it is still unclear whether we'll see the same in GCS .

Although alternate history resurrected fire demon Nobunaga is borderline.

Although alternate history resurrected fire demon Nobunaga is borderline. The problem is that after Sengoku was over the next period was relatively calm and quiet. I don't see how they could continue the game within historical time-frame without some mythological deviations. And, truth be told, beasts and demigods add another dimension to GCR. I can easily imagine challenge conquests (based on regular conquests) of GCR with beasts fighting on all sides New hard or nightmare campaigns etc. Hey, it is always possible to create new Hero legends and introduce new beasts next to which Behemoth is nothing more than a cute puppy . In GCS it is hard to imagine something completely new.

In GCS it is hard to imagine something completely new. They also said that GCS would be a smaller game. So precisely for those reasons, I expect they'll add the remaining campaign chapters and the missing conquest and be done. If they add anything more it will probably be another game mode running in parallel, or perhaps an alternate history time-line like Rome vs Han.
