I love the Total War series. My favourite one would have to be the Rome gold edition. It has a huge variaty of units and has amazing graphics for the time it was made. it's challenging, gives you 100's of hours playing time and is just good ol' fun
Rome Total war, and the first expansion Barbarian Invasion are my favorite. They're simple, yet extremely fun and time consuming as well as addicting. My favorite faction is Egypt. They're hard/impossible to kill during the campaign, and playing as them is equally difficult. I don't appreciate their unit spamming though :P
I still play RTW. Don't like playing with barbarians because of how uncivilized they are, you can't even build paved roads with those factions. I like playing with Greeks, phalanx are invincible when closely packed together. Plus all the wonders are on the east and are easily accessible. Yea, it's one awesome game.
I love total war mainly Rome Total War and Medieval Total War 2 the sheer scale and strategy of it makes it awesome I personally love having tons of heavy infantry and crushing the enemy by sheer power.
Tons of fun, and just systematically killing everything that moves never gets old.
Yeah I love RTW and its really fun to just get massive amounts of troops and slaughter people.
You might want to make sure your flanks are guarded against cavalry. Phalanx become moot when outflanked.
I agree with you Aatos, this happened to me once, I ended up almost losing the battle but I saved my troops just in time.
I think that RTW is the best. I have Empire Total War, but its just not the same. Though it is fun having my troops in one line and slaughter the Native Americans before thay reach my troops.
