    RTW definitely is a good game
    Do you use any mods? (there are historical ones which make the game even better than Vanilla)

      My brother rediscovered Master of Orion II while he was recuperating.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        Last year I replayed the entire SSI Gold Box series of AD&D games. Those games are still a lot of fun.

            AH is doing it wrong if he's not playing Rome Total War with Roma Surrectum II.

            I mentioned the mod in the Other Games section and got ehh until I posted screenshots from my battles












            Nothing doctored there. I just paused my battles, got a nice angle and took the screenshots. The game really looks that much better.

                Do you see how much better the game looks? Get good with mods.

                      Well, you are rewarded for it by an even better playing experience afterwards

                          It looks gorgeous, maybe worth a try. Did this guy do mods oif any of the other Total War games?

                            All Total Wars are a mix of TBS and RTS...
                            while the strategic turns (i.e. managing your country, moving your armies (and other units) takes place in an TBS manner, all battles take place as RTS

                              Did they ever fix the memory leak bug? The game got unplayable for me. Also - they don't have the reminder animation that Civ2 has for their units where it cycles through all of them. Very jarring for a TBS.
