    Emperor Edition really shows how much the title from The Creative Assembly has evolved since it was originally delivered and the way the entire experience has been updated based on the needs of the community and the cool ideas of the development team.

    The technical part remains somewhat problematic, but the rest of the game is of outstanding quality. In terms of grand strategy, it's one of the best games and it can deservedly stand next to its ancestors in the same series. Too bad that, as it seems, the publishers did not give the appropriate time frame to the developers. The potential was there, only more time was needed.

    When rome ii was first released it was frankly terrible sadly. Now the game has totally cxhanged; seige AI is fixed, politics has been madeWhen rome ii was first released it was frankly terrible sadly. Now the game has totally cxhanged; seige AI is fixed, politics has been made useful and realistic and the unit balances are now quite good and realistic. It is now my favourite total war game and in my top 3 games ever after starting as one of the most dissapointing games. CA have just been fantastic. They could have easily stopped working on it after making a lot of money after release. However they have persevered and have transformed the game into one of the best strategy games out there.

    First off, its a great game. The campaign is extremely fun and after everything has been patched/fixed, the Campaign is the funnest of allFirst off, its a great game. The campaign is extremely fun and after everything has been patched/fixed, the Campaign is the funnest of all total wars. Multiplayer is very fun and very much alive. There's basically evryhting You would want from a total war. 28 Factions, 4 campaign packs, a huge diverse roster for all factions, historical battles.
    No more BUGS. Yes, no more of them. Amazing graphics, No lag whatsoever, much smarter AI than that of ROME 2 (first version). If you liked the original Rome Total War, you will love this one. Definitely wothy of a rome 1 sequel.

    People who are too emotionally invested in their purchases are artificially raising this game's score by giving it an entirely undeserved 10People who are too emotionally invested in their purchases are artificially raising this game's score by giving it an entirely undeserved 10 (which I now feel compelled to counter balance by giving it a zero, even though I think it probably deserves a 4 or a 5). If you want an accurate portrayal of what Rome 2 is really like (yes, even after "Emperor Edition"), I'd check the original's Metacritic page.
