I have been playing Rome - Total War for three or four years now and I'd rate it very high as a strategy game. I am yet to play any other versions of Total war products but I'm on a verge of doing it pretty soon.
Anyway, this post is all about Rome -Total war and lets be confined to it only.
The campaign will basically start as you being one of the houses assisting Rome (SPQR) as in The House of Julii or The House of Brutii or The House of Scipii. And once you finish a campaign with one of these Houses you will be able to unlock other provinces like Carthage, The Greek Cities, The Selucid Empire, Egypt, Germania, Britania, Gaul and Parthia. If playing one of the Houses assisting Rome, you get certain missions from Rome from time to time and you need to achieve them in order to continue the glory of Rome and take the Empire forward. Later, much later, as your House takes control over the map and power in the senate, you get a chance for power and take the Rome and defeat the other Houses.
One of the exciting thing about this game is it will give you a feel of historical background as it goes back to the days of Medieval days or maybe the days of Lord of the Rings where you will find places like Patavium, Ariminum, Arretium....and not places like Venice, Florence etc. Also, if you are playing one of the Houses you get extra facilities, like you can bribe a whole army of another House and they will directly join as an army of your House.
Apart of armies ranging from archers to cavalry to camels to Elephants the game has spy, assassin, diplomats to negotiate and make the game much more complicated and beautiful. It has got riots in the settlements, plague happenings and ways to tackle both riots and plague.
I am going to attach some of the pictures from the campaign map.
And this picture, shows you the whole map of the game.
The Total War is going to launch its newest version of Rome, by the way. It's Rome 2 - Total War. Here is a video link to its introduction. Rome 2 - Total War First Gameplay Footage
Tell me if you liked it.

Picture above shows Rome (in violet), and the House of Julii (in red). This is the very early part of the game for the House of Julii. Right now it is holding only Arretium and Ariminum.
Picture above shows you the Gaul region. But right now the House of Julii and House of Brutii (in green) is fighting to get a hold onto it, which means one of these Houses (in this case which should be the House of Brutii) is outlawed and it now wants to take the whole power of Rome (already acquired).
Picture above shows the Greek cities portion acquired by the House of Brutii.

very good. i have played this game for years and completed it with most of the factions. Also, with just a small scripting change you can make all the factions except the senate playable. This includes the Rebels.
ReplyDeleteHi Sean, yes I know... I have played it with most of the unplayable factions, by changing the root scripting. The game is superb, but I was deserted with total war : medieval 2. Now I am looking forward to Rome 2 like anything.
