Total war: Rome II

[Pac-Fish]

TGW mod is coming soon

I know Fish I mentioned that in my post. WWI is the last plausible Total War Era as WWII is the domain of RTS games like CoH, although that may also change.

boss.  i just love the whole culture, the powerful, well organized government, the professional military, (after the Marian reforms) how they let the countries the conquered keep thier own laws and cultures... its all just awsome!

Sadly not all of what you say is true. The few sources available from that time are, with only some exceptions, Roman. So what you get to know about Roman history is quite one-sided. Augustus for example didn't mention anything negative about himself in his "Res gestae". So at the end of the day, Rome leaves an unstained image while reality might have been different.
On the other hand, their civilized way of life is to be taken as an example. It took far longer than the Middle Ages to reach an equal level of civilization again. Their aqueducts and roads, military power and many more aspects where simply awesome and not to be compared with anything former.

[Mattdamon07]

It's only in pre-alpha, imagine what the complete version would look like

They better have the Greek city states. I fucking love using Spartans to bring Rome to it's knees and the Persian Hordes that i just massacre!

Well according to the Rome II faction list there are only 8 factions (playable?) of which one is obviously Rome. I'm guessing the others are; Carthage, Gaul, Macedon, Hellenes, Ptolemies, Seleucids, Parthia. There are probably other factions that are unplayable such as Pontus or Germanic tribes similar to how Shogun had minor clans. I wish there were more factions.

Although at the same time they say that you can choose "families" within a faction to give you distinct bonuses. I'm guessing this will allow you to choose a city-state in particular you want to represent, or a Gallic clan.

But i want to use Spartans and rule the universe!!!
