re: #631 Jadespring

I’ve seen the gold edition at Best Buy. Maybe the next time I’m near one I’ll check it out. It’s always great to get to know a bit about a game from actual players. I hate spending money on a game that ends up not being what I personally like. I think you’re selling me on this one though. Just knowing that I’m not going to be stuck with vanilla is a big selling point.

Don’t get me wrong, even the vanilla Rome: Total War is awesome. After playing Microsoft and Ensemble’s “Age of Empires”, Rome Total war was just breathtaking. The Total War series has a large turn-based campaign map, but you can either autoresolve the battles, or actually play them out on a Real-Time based map. The tutorial in the original Rome: Total War walks you through it fairly well. Its cool because it takes into account morale, fatigue, flank attacks, armor, etc…
