Rome Total War is a PC game created by the Creative Assembly. It is a strategy game simulating ancient warfare and empire-building in the period of Rome's rise to greatness, beginning in 270 B.C.E and running to the year 16 C.E. It features both turn-based play at the strategic level of the game, and real-time-strategy play when battles are fought out at the tactical level.
Rome Total War offers several options of play, in both single and multiplayer modes. In Singleplayer a person can play a Custom Battle in which they select the Faction and units they wish to command, as well as those the computer will use against them. A Quick Battle is simple, but skips the selection and jumps straight into a random battle. Historical Battles allow the player to re-fight some of those great battles of history, such as the Battle of Lake Trasimene, or The Battle of Carrhae, and more. Finally, they may play a Campaign, leading a single nation to conquer the ancient world. In Multiplayer a person can play in battles either online or through a local network.

Known Issues:
- The sea has false colour - this may be alright on Pros, I'm not sure.
- The loading picture flashes up then disappears
- When you put it in full-screen the map screen may have no mouse boundary probs, and maybe even the next battle you play, but when you come back to the map screen, the mouse borders will be buggered. To solve this, quit, go to: Contents\Resources\transgaming\c_drive\Program Files\Data\preferences.txt and change:
STRATEGY_RESOLUTION and BATTLE_RESOLUTION both back to 1024x768
The widescreen problem may only affect a few. Not sure if it's just because of my prefs going wrong somewhere. You may as well try it.
