Sega’s Creative Assembly has added another great addition to its Total War strategy game series. This is my first ever review I felt motivated to write, go figure. Also I dont understand why 39 people (at the moment of writing this pulled the score down when I haven't read a single negative review from those who played it. Them battles are the most cinematic I've seen from a TW game yet. This is not a dlc or expansion this is a standalone TW game that happens to be in Europe. also you won't really have time to use battle animations, but I'm sure that some people will come and say how easy it is for them and unlike "random other rts from the rose tinted past". Battles do not feel like a chore as I had to use more tactics in just my first few than in half a campaign for rome. Game is generally harder than rome 2, think shogun 2. This is same for your enemies need to finish them utterly or they'll come back suddenly. Your troops will fight to the end if they get a moments rest after each time they break thus making the roman chess board formations useful.

Other random points: Boat battles are fun finally really fun. neighbours readily do diplomacy with you and attack you in the back and they generally use every option thats aviable to the player. As for the campaign it hasn't been out that long but already I can see a lot of quality changes. Sadly you'll have to wait for the blood dlc because ratings and what not, but it already is brutal. Its makes rome look like sims, and the whole coloring is like those visceral nineties medieval movies with spit and blood. The burning buildings in the sight of the setting sun and the general carnage are an amazing up from rome two. I couldn't stop giggling while I lost my first battle it was amazing fire arrows raining people dieing in the ditches while Norsemen chopped at each other in a boat battle. I couldn't stop giggling while I lost my first battle it was amazing fire arrows raining people dieing in the ditches while Attila is awesome.
