Civ IV or Rome total war + expansion?

which would be a better buy Civ IV or Rome total war + the Barbarian invasion expansion??  Also i have a computer that runs Company of Heroes on high and runs WoW on all high settings and gets a consistent 40-50 FPS even when in large raids will that be good enough to run both of the aforementioned games????

Thanks for reading

Rome it more of a RTS while Civ. 4 is depth TBS.

Rome is all battle, In Civ. 4 you have build structures for you civization to thrive, You most invest in Science and pick a religon to boost happiness, you must also control the economy and make laws even decide the form of goverment.

I personally love the mix of real time and turn based stratagy found in Rome Total War.

Hmmm good question

Do you want one of the greatest turn-based only strategy game (civ 4)?

Or do you want a pretty good turn-based strategy game that has a dash of realtime combat (Total War)?

oo so CIV 4 does not have any war in it like Rome does? I like being able to war i didnt know civ didnt have that i thought it did

Rome total war :

All players that like Strategic games should play because Rome: Total war is one of the best strategic games ever! A lot of people consider it "The best"! Rome total war is done to be appreciated also from that players that don't have a lot patience.

Is possible to play immediately and play a lot of battles!! Or is possible to play the campaign mode!

Game play: really good and easy, also very intuitive.
Graphics: Creative have made a really a good job! Good details and nature details.
Sound: Well done. On battle is great to hear battle sounds and voices!

Civilization 4:

This game is top notch. I wanted a while before getting this game and I am glad I did get it once I built a new gaming rig.

The graphics and the game play is what would expect from a Civ series. The expandable of the game is so nice and flexible. If this is Civ 4 what will Civ 5 look like. 1st person views?

The game though has an intense learning curve even for someone familiarize with the Civ series.

Pro: Leonard Nimoy doing the narration for the game. Graphics are top notch.
Con: If you have a slow machine, upgrade. You will need it to play this game.

PS:the expansion pack Warlods Rocks

Oh no, Civ 4 has lots of war if thats what you want.  Its just the battles arent real-time as they are in Total War.

Yes, Rome: Total War is better for you.  its an awesome game, might even load it up myself right now!  And you can control your armies in real time if you wish.

Good luck and have fun!

Both are magnificent, great games. As pointed above, there is no actual combat on a battlefield in Civ IV.

Rome : Total War is a complete strategy game. May be they should change the name from Total War to Total Strategy.
