Rome: Total War for PC and iOS is the third installment in the acclaimed strategy series developed by Creative Assembly. In the previous games (Shogun: Total War, Medieval: Total War), the players visited the sixteenth century Japan and the medieval Europe. This time, the creators offer a journey deep into the past, when the Roman Empire was in its prime. The players are given an opportunity to participate in such exciting historical events as the Spartacus's slave rebellion, the Punic Wars (Rome fighting Carthage over the western part of the Mediterranean Basin), the famous Hannibal's crossing of the Alps or Julius Caesar's annihilation of the Gauls.

Mechanics

Similar to both the previous installments, Rome: Total War for PC and iOS pays a lot of attention to historical details and recreates elements such as military units belonging to the Romans, Egyptians, Greeks and different peoples of the ancient world faithfully. The player can use war machines which truly existed and were used in military operations of the period. All the innovations introduced by the previous installments were implemented in this game as well – these include sieges of cities and keeps (introduced in Medieval: Total War), reconnaissance, reserve units (Medieval: Total War - Viking Invasion), etc. All the political, economical and trading-related aspects were recreated in accordance with actual history as well.

Expansion

June 19, 2006

Strategy

The second official expansion to Rome: Total War, a game developed by Creative Assembly in 2004. This time you assume the role of one of the most prominent strategist in the course of the centuries – the titular Alexander the Great who, due to his outstanding conquests, went down in history as one of the greatest leaders. The completely new campaign plays a crucial role in this extension – you can re-enact the biggest successes achieved by the legendary Macedonian ruler. Rome: Total War – Alexander faithfully recreates battlefields of historic battles, numbers of units engaged, and tactics applied by particular armies. Between scenarios, players can enjoy high-quality footage narrated by Brian Blessed who talks about the warrior-king’s triumphs and thus enriches historical knowledge of the players.

Expansion

September 27, 2005

Strategy

The first official add-on to the third installment of Total War – the popular series created by Creative Assembly. As suggested by the title, Rome: Total War – Barbarian Invasion focuses on a very unfavorable time for the Roman Empire between 363 and 476. At that time, Europe had fallen under the reign of barbarian tribes, while the east had a new power player emerging in the form of Persian Empire. The said expansion offers a completely new single player campaign and ten completely new nations, such as Western and Eastern Roman Empire, Persian Empire, and numerous tribes such as Huns, Goths, Saxons, Franks, Wandals, Sarmatians, and Allemans. The game makes use of real historical data, and introduces special traits of individual units. We’ve also received a new technological tree, the ability to recruit generals, and an incredibly important religion factor.
