Rome: Total War Gold Edition Review (continued)

Pretty good.
This game is pretty good I guess. I enjoyed it but if you are planning to buy it keep the following in mind.
1. Be prepared to put a lot of time into this game
2. This game requires a lot of micro management (building up towns, maintaining diplomatic relations, improving trade and production)
3. If you are looking for an action game, try a different one. The battles are outstanding and there is an option to play "Historical Battles" (like a quick action function) but the main focus of the game is to create an Empire and the battle aspect seems to be only a fraction of the entire gameplay.
Very well put together. I highly recommend it.

Excellent strategy game
This game is a lot of fun and you can certainly play it for many hours. I do get a bit tired of constantly fighting rebels and revolts but an excellent upgrade from previous games in the series.

Rome-Total War Review
Rome Total War is an excellent strategy game with decent graphics and an expansive map. The Barbarian Invasion expansion pack is a waste of time and money however. It is nearly impossible to win or even last more than a few turns.

Great value for money
Rome is an excellent game, one of the few which I like to play again and again. And for its current price, it's a must-have.

Very good game
For me Total War Series is the best in strategic battles and Rome Total War is not an exception.
You begin with 2 or 3 cities and you have to conquer about 55 (in short campaign only about 25). The game begins in 3ยบ century BC, if you play with roman factions you have lots of troops avalaible and new troops after Mario reforms (and historic event that occurs randomly).
The only bad point is that you can not play with no roman factions until you win a campaign.
"Barbarian Invasion" is a highly recommendable extension. If you have played Rome, it will surprise because you will have to play in a very different way.
If you play with Roman factions, you must avoid the fall of the Empire. You have new troops, and a weak empire (many cities, but few roads and ports).
However, if you play with a barbarian faction you will have yo play in a very different way. Starting with almost no cities, you will have to settle your people in the Roman Empire fighting against Rome and other Barbars.
