"Rome: Total War"

Well it seems like a tour de force for Miserableman and Co.

This is probably going to be the first PC game I'll have bought since Warcraft 3 came out. Who else is likely to pick it up?

This is making me weep, slightly. The Senate wants me to get the surrender of Gaul, and they'll apparently "reward me greatly"

But even when I now have all but one Gaul town under control, the buggers still say "We have nothing to offer you so we must decline." What? I want your surrender, I don't want anything in return.

Hopefully sooner or later it'll ask me if I want to try and take control of the Senate or something, so I can execute them all.

It's haard.

Really...

I'm usually good a RTS's.

When's the next AoE?

I'm playing as the Julii as well. I proffer their Red coloured armour to blue and green, plenty of room for expansion too thanks to the Julii being surrounded by Gauls, who keep throwing huge armies at me, and fail to take any ground every time.

DAMN YOU FINGERS!

The ones on the intro? My word that's a wonderful intro. It really gets you in the mood, baby.

Which family you playing as at the moment then? I'm the Julii. I want to complete it so I unlock all the factions and then play as the Egyptians :' }

I love sieges, I love it when Gaul barbarians try to storm my city, using battering rams to knock down the gate and sections of my wooden wall. I love it even more when they fail and I chace down their pitiful army killing hundreds in the process. I'm looking forward to those huge sieges with assault ladders and siege towers.

Must buy!!!

Oh dear, sieging towns and cities is awesome.
I love this game.

Rome rocks, my sons.

Does telling you and Gerrid qualify as telling everyone then? :O)
