Rome : Total War |
|
They used this game in some TV show on the History Channel, anybody have it?
It looks really good, I want massive battles but what type of game is it? It doesn't seem too much like one where you create guys at a barracks, from what I saw there were literally hundreds fighting at once on the show...

Its quite good, but you do build guys in barracks.. but the building of buildings and troops happens in turn based events, ie the seasons. you can march your armies a certain distance depending on whats in it and when you get to battle each unit is quite large and those battles are real time/ with speeding up/slowing down options. I liked the game, probably wouldn't make a great multiplayer game, but its just so much fun crashing war elephants into pesky German barbarians :p

its a very fun game to waste your time on stradegies and such....
well, my uncle has it and he's in his mid 40s and he loves the game sooooooo much that he always show me some of his record about how he won a new battle.......
the graphics and sound r great, its cool to see your army move with your command: " Charge!!!", " Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!"

Yup you can make peasants... If your town has no barracks/training grounds or you dont have the cash sometimes your only left with peasents to defend a town... It's annoying tho, cos the senate always seams to hate you and gives you harder and harder missions that you either cant do and they declare war on you. (rome + the other 2 great roman families vs your family, unless you start as another group.) Yeah but it was a bad idea :p rome wasn't quite strong enough to survive 3 full armies of the best Roman legionaries with a 9 star commanding general at the lead Oh and incindary pigs are funny... Or... unleash the dogs of war!! heh, the gauls didn't stand much chan ce vs savage dogs :p.. In the end all your family gets annoying cos you have so many and most are quite crud. And riots are annoying.
