This game Rome total war is mesmerizing, cerebral, intuitive, epic, breathtaking, and a masterpiece. Your eyes will be weeping blood from monitor glare, bladder hemorrhaging as you succumb to that all-consuming urge to play for just half an hour more, starving for not eating just to play one more game.

Playing as Julii unlocks the barbarians where they have no mercy for the Romans at all, tree-matted lands of central Europe where Germans, Britons and Gaul await with their wild painted faces and massed but disorganized armies, although Germans have a unit that pierce through the armor of any roman legions. Brutii brings you immediately into conflict with the tactically adept and organized Greeks such as the Macedonians, Greece-state cities; Seleucid these factions are much more to a threat than Rome than almost anyone else. While Scipii offers an open route to the desert flat lands of Carthage, Egypt, Numidia, Pontus, these factions are no joke Romans may be very organized and rich with strong legions but it depends on how good you are in the game if you're not then say goodbye to some of your cities.

This campaign is LONG it does not just take a few minutes to beat or a couple of hours or it takes days months maybe even years!. The map was upgraded in such a way that masterpiece is the only word that came into mind when I first saw it.

Most of your battles to begin with will be attack missions. Attacking is probably harder than defending, it is your job to penetrate the walls of your opponent without serious loss, and then exterminate the enemy, and even the most successful attack mission will probably end up with a few casualties with arrow towers and boiling water drops at the gates, a few of your men are bound to fall. That's not to say attacking doesn't have its fun side though, available for offensives are battering rams, catapults, siege towers, ladders and even war elephants, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Whatever methods you use to attack the walls of the enemy.
