My roommate was really into it during last semester and the summer.  He still plays it, but not quite as often.  He's a member of the Arcani clan and goes by Viper.

Tried the demo over the summer, too much camera management. I found it unweildy.

Using the mouse to control the camera seems to work well for me.

Lets see --

Shogun total war -- still enjoy it now and then -- also mongol expansion

Med total war -- still enjoy it now and then with viking expansion


Rome total war -- bought it and didnt get to play it very often as my system was too low end -- wife's system ran it fine but she was always on DAoC..

Upgraded my system last week and first and only game to go on it was ROME TW.. then SFC/OP... 

Is there a rome expansion .. will definately look into it..

For anyone who plays rome -- I have your have been watching the HBO Series Rome -_ excellent show!!! excellent!!

(PS I will now add I think they really buggered up by not allowing the campaign games to be played as a multi player game -- IF ONLY THE  had this game would be one of the best series ever made)

Rome?  Hell, I just got the expansion pack for Medieval.

Not that I'm complaining.  Ireland WILL conquer all the British Isles.  Well, unless I play the Vikings.

Not if the Welsh yeomen have anything to say about it.   ;D

I play the game a lot.  As the Scipio faction, of course.   ;)

There is.  It is called Barbarian Invasion, and is still fairly new.

Now that I totally agree with!  It's the empire building that makes this game great.   Pure skirmish missions get boring really quickly.  It's still one of the best single-player games I own, but the multiplayer could have added so much more.

I play better w/ house Julii. Brutii and Scipii are harder to manage and they do tend to get into trouble faster. :)

We Scipii don't like to be managed.  We're an autonomous collective.

You Julii represent a dictatorship.  (I didn't vote for you.)

Started a new game playing the greek faction for the first time --

I am kicking arse as the spartans....just took over rome year 150 =  settings very hard -- very hard -- didnt think the spartan unit was that good to begin with then I learned -- use it for the offense use the armoured hoplits to hold the line for missile troops -- add a few ongers and the battle is ours!!

Expected all of italy to join and fight against my attack on rome-- pah!

I've been playing the mod Rome Total Realism this weekend while I recover from whatever it was the kids gave me.

What difficulty settings do you all typically use?  Battle/campaign I generally leave it at hard/hard.
