Rome was amazing (im still playing it). Although Barbarian invasion rocks, it still cant live up to Romes expectations. But i love it, Why? heres why...

*light units can swim across rivers (solving the problem where people could stand at the end of the bridge and win easily)

*Spearmen can do schilstrom (best formation in living history)

*Some good units can do shield wall (the one used at hastings 600 years later)

*Eastern roman empire has good units, WESTERN HAS AMAZING UNITS (unfortunatly in the campeign western is extremely hard to play as)

*Some nomads start off as a few HUGE armies in the campeign, and you can make them settle where you like (its really fun)

*lots of wicked new factions...

Thats why!
