    Initially played on disc for Gamespy Arcade, then inevitably went and purchased it on Steam around a decade later. I love this game, in fact I'd go to the extent to say that this game, alongside the era of games in the early 2000's, late 90's, is the greatest of all time.
    We have Age of Mythology, Empires, Rome Total War and many others, immensely better than the drivel that exists today,    Initially played on disc for Gamespy Arcade, then inevitably went and purchased it on Steam around a decade later.

    Quite possibly the greatest strategy game of all time. It revolutionized the RTS genre, painted a picture of Ancient Rome that was unseen in the gaming world, and had an impressive and memorable soundtrack to match.

    Wow! Very good grand strategy game, one of the best of always... The approach, with three different Rome factions is a brilliant idea

    An epic game in terms of both visual execution and longevity...Campaigns can last for several hundred turns, so prepare for the long haul.

    Many games are excellent world-builders, and many are deep real time strategy war games. Rome: Total War sets out to be both and pulls it off wonderfully.

    The tactical battles are better than ever thanks to an improved engine and significantly smarter enemy AI. You can now take up to 400 units into battle, leading to some impressive large-scale scraps.
