    Hannibal at the Gates is a conservative expansion, but nevertheless a good one. The second punic war is one hell of a conflict to portray in a strategy game, and the new Rome II DLC does that reasonably well.

    Total War: Rome 2 : Hannibal at the Gates Second Punic war is an excellent theme for a DLC. The conflict is a reasonable small-scaled but still Carthage acts as a strong counterforce against Rome. [May 2014]

    I don't need more 'historical' battles and dozens of new units. What I want from Rome 2 are solid multiplayer, good, easy-to-understand balance and smart AI that uses battering rams and ballistics to storm castles. Is this too much to ask for?

    Better than Caesar in Gaul but still not worthwhile. This campaign provides a small scenario that simulates the Punic Wars. You have the twoBetter than Caesar in Gaul but still not worthwhile. This campaign provides a small scenario that simulates the Punic Wars. You have the two major powers of Rome and Carthage that are the focus of the campaign and a few other minor factions that you can play as as well. It isn't as linear (other than Rome and Carthage being locked in a never ending war) as CiG was and that's good. However I find it sadly over priced for a campaign that brings absolutely nothing new to the table except a map.… Expand
