Eras - a Total package
I won't go in the description of the games themselves - no need.
This is what you get in this package:
- 4 DVDs, containing 3 original games and their 4 corresponding expansions:
- Shogun;
- Shogun Mongol Invasion;
- Medieval;
- Medieval Viking Invasion;
- Rome;
- Rome Barbarian Invasion;
- Rome Alexander;
- Soundtrack CD, containing 43 tracks and over 76 minutes of music samples from the three original games;
- Documentary DVD 39 minute interview with the original creator of the series, explaining how they came up with the idea of the game and how game progressed over the years and incarnations;
- 50 page booklet with artwork from all 4 games in the series
- Medieval 2 Poster of the King Richard, the Lion Heart;
- 5 postcards with artwork from the games;
- one combined book with over 275 pages of game manuals
Watch the Documentary to learn such cool facts like, for example:
- how Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' helped create Shogun tactical AI;
- how 'Gladiator' the movie influenced the decision to cover Roman period in the third game;
- how many future installments we should be expecting in this series before it runs out of gas
Enjoy!

Total Wars is excellent
Total Wars is a great RTS. I wish they would continue to expansions for the three time periods. I would enjoy an entire game based on the Mongols since they were really fun to battle.

Total Wars
My son (13) loves it. It plays it constantly. Only drawback is it uses alot of space on computer. Graphics are great.

Excellent
This collection is just what I've been searching for for years. It includes all of the Total War games (except Medieval II) in one convenient package with an incredible price. Each game alone is easily worth (in the opinion of a strategy gamer) $20, and combining all three games and four expansion packs for $50, well, that's just a dream come true. It was so much easier buying one collection rather than seven games.
Then there are the actual games, which are even more incredible than the price. The graphics may not be Call of Duty 2, but I encourage any strategy gamer to buy this collection, or at least just one of the games. The Total War games are some of the best strategy games I've played. These games are actual strategy, requiring one to think, unlike some games that boast being strategy when all that matters is numbers. There are so many great aspects of these games that they truly warrant all five stars and are easily worth $50.
