Spartans were OP when combined with Phalanx on bridge. And the unit's look was historically inaccurate. :P

I want my Cataphracts and Celtic chariots again. The Chariots were a hoot and Cataphracts were my fav unit (minus peasants, nothing can replace my beloved peasants)

EDIT: And I agree on the General. I want him back!

I hope they can release a special addition for the next xbox/playstation,rts games have not translated well at all this generation of consoles,i believe a controller can work but these kind of games are usually very resource intensive and current systems can cope with that much action on screen at once.blacktorn

Very few console gamers would buy this game.

This just made me think how cool an Assassin's Creed game set in various parts of the Roman Empire would have been. Why would they start in the stupid boring Crusades?

Well, the answer to your question is yes. You can manage your settlements, recruit troops, build your economy, etc.

Yes, but if that's not what you'r into I do believe their is an "auto manage settelment" option for each city, but it's not like it's hard anyway.

The City management isn't real-time (it's turn based) so you can take all the time you want. The combat, however, is real-time although you can slow and pause the game if should be necessary (large armies can be somewhat difficulty to manage).

I play the Total War series since the first Shogun, but when i introduced it to my cousin thats the only games he plays is Total War, he probalby put in more then 10000+ hours into them. And Rome is his favorite, so when i tell him about this one he will be excited.

Gentlemen, I have a strong feeling that we won't see this game until early 2014 at the very least. They will delay it at least once.

So guys, I've already been recommended Rome: Total War and Shogun (or one of it's stand alone expansions) as good starters, but which of those two would be a real good start for the "n00bz"? :P

I don't want to be easy, but I want to be a good start, one that probably has a campaign that starts softly (good for n00bz like moi) and then grows increasinglyharder! I have some experience with Cov 4 and AOE 3 if that's some help..

Desmonic

Rome Total War is pretty easy to get into, or Medieval 2: Total War.

Believe it or not, I refuse to use the term RTT. I classify the TW series as a TBS series since the core of the game is on the map.

The map IS like CiV, or Calactic Civ. the game CANNOT be called an RTS when it's RTS mode can't hold the game by itself. It's the campaign map we all return to. The overall planning, the risk factoring, and your army composition. The BEST battles I've eveer had were in the campaign, never online, never in a custom game. THAT is why it's a TBS. I like to think of it like HoMM just with RTS battles.

edit: Ok, scratch that. It seems it exists but still console gamers dont give a fvck about games like RTS/RTT/TBS w/e you want to call them

edit 2: and wtf is up with such a variation of terms? Tactic is basically a synonym for strategy... using both terms with diferent meaning seems stupid to me
