Rome: Total War

Rome: Total War is a classic strategy game about an ancient republic. The campaign begins in the third century BC and leads Rome to dominance of the Mediterranean. Generals gain traits from victories. The commanders are aging, and their popularity among the people frightens the Senate. Roman houses are fighting for influence, and the Senate is watching every move. The Senate demands an account for every victory. Armies are assembled from legions and auxiliary units, and battles take place in real time. Formation, flanks and reserves decide the outcome, so attacks are planned. Provinces pay taxes. Taxes are collected in cities, and roads speed up trade. Ports and roads link the provinces into a single economy. Sea freight speeds up trade. Provinces provide people and money. Cities are developing on the map, roads and ports are being built, and trade replenishes the treasury. The Senate monitors the ambitions of commanders, and a general's popularity can be dangerous. Siege equipment is assembled in workshops. Siege engines are built in workshops and require felled wood. A siege requires ladders, battering rams, and patience. Legions march along the roads of the republic. Factions are divided into Roman houses and external powers, so the party proceeds differently. Re-releases have improved compatibility. The Senate demands respect for tradition. The Republic is expanding, but internal strife does not stop. External powers take advantage of the republic's weakness. This hike is suitable for anyone who loves ancient wars. Modifications add factions. The community makes modifications with new nations. Updates corrected the balance. Later the strength of individual units was adjusted. Distant countries are waiting for their commanders.
