Any Rome:Total War fans?

I just started playing RTW last week & it's by far the best C&C type game i've played, you basically take over the world with armies & invade city's, there can be literally thousands of soldiers on screen at once which looks great.

It's very well done & goes into detail to get it close as possible to those days, you get new family members that grow up to be leaders & if you don't keep an eye on you're city's then there will be revolts against you by the peasants.

So any fans in here? I need some tips as i seem to attack with all my men at once which isn't realistic. Smile

Reccommend it to anyone who likes the C&C type games.

Hi
TW was pretty cool, but got a bit repetitive after a while. From what I can remember, build up your cities 1st, try not to spread yourself too thinly, and make as many ships as you can, otherwise you get pwned by massive armardas when trying to move soldiers by sea.

I've never heard of that one, but looking on gamespot it's rated as superb, might have to give it a go looks good from the movie. Thumbs Up

I,ve been regulary playing it since it came out in dec 2004 up to a few months ago, the units and faction are not completey historically correct so if you want realism try this mod which doubles the campain map all the way to india and adds new units corrects the time line (no more imperal rome).

the idea of it was very appealing to me, actually having to think about battle strategies etc like every boy dreams of thinking about, but when i played the demo (ages ago) i found that battles could be easily won by highlighting every unit you have and taking out the enemy groups 1 by 1. Ive heard its different on a higher difficulty level, might re download the demo and try it again

Thanks alot!

I've been looking for a guide on how to play properly with setting out you're army, so far without that realism mod i havn't been able to create an army big enough to get 8 men deep for a big war, the enemy AI usually has 3 llines deep at the most which is a bit annoying as you can just route them all by charging with the horses. Also without the mod the AI rarely attacks you, you always have to attack them first which is crap when you're ontop of a hill.

I just tried it on 'hard' mod & it's too hard, not because the AI uses good tactics but because it takes 500men to kill the general, i spent 10 mintues trying get though the gates. I'm going to play on normal mode, seems more realistic.
