the game itself is kinda plain not all the factions are playable and the hordes are too powerful and overall the romans are weak compared to their counterparts in the original. i have enjoyed the total war series and i'm not saying this one is the worst but by no means does that make this one the best. I think that this one gives a little originality with the hordes but when you can be attacked by thousandstroops at once is alittle unfair because hordes will take any province they can and will sack them for the most part eventually they will settle but in order to kill off one of those factions you have to kill of their entire horde. i don't like that if you take their last city they should be gone. i also don't like how every sity for the romans is all in the red on happiness you barely get past a turn and all your cities are rioting at once. it's an okay game but it could have been so much better.
