"Rome: Total War" is the third installment in the Total War series, developed by Creative Assembly in England, and it is also the finest one. The game carries forward the strengths of its predecessors, featuring grand real-time battle scenes, with historical authenticity and meticulous attention to detail leaving a deep impression. "Shogun: Total War" set a good precedent for the series, and "Medieval: Total War" built upon that foundation. However, "Rome: Total War" introduced revolutionary improvements. Thanks to the adoption of a brand-new 3D engine, the game can better depict battle scenes involving thousands of soldiers. This improvement is not just about spectacular visuals; it helps "Rome: Total War" become an outstanding epic strategy game.
