For me, this game really recreates the feeling of Rome, much better than any other Roman game. The strategy is excellent, and there are just so many good ideas in there to even mention. Large playground (campaign map), and many nations involved at the start of the game are a nice place to begin. Three Roman families and the Senate are trying to control the world and eventually all of Rome as well. As you defeat other nations in the campaign, they become playable in future campaigns (very neat idea). Also the troops having to march to their destinations rather than just plopping down on them is an added touch of realism. That seems to be what this game is all about, realism and fun. The battles are very impressive, despite what the "graphics nerds" think, and just add to the theme of realism. While this game is similar to Medieval: Total War in its concepts and ideas, it's such a vast improvement that veterans of Medieval will recognize it, but still have a lot to learn if just starting out. All-in-all, Rome: Total War is probably the best strategy game I have ever played.
