Customer Reviews of Rome Total War Gold Edition
Fun overall but can't control armies larger than 7-800 men On the box art of this game you see armies containing thousands of troops besieging city walls defended by thousands of troops. Unfortunately the actual game does not have this capability, even on the highest difficulty. In the main campaigns--there are 3 you can choose from, you have to play many hours before you can control armies larger than 2-300 men. Only towards the end of the campaign can you control more than 600 troops. If you attack a city with more than this limit, you will find yourself with an A.I. controlled "allied" army fighting next to your 2-300 troops. So epic battles are not really possible, just skirmishes. <

>I found this to be unrealistic given that a typical roman legion was about 10,000 men. As PCs get faster one should have the option of using any size army one can amass. Age of empires had this option. Perhaps there is some way to do this with RTW, a hack or add-on or whatever but I could not find it. <

>Since this game is several years old, being able to have 10-20,000 man armies would more than make up for the dated graphics. I liked the game very much but was disappointed at not being able to have battles anything close to that portrayed on the box cover.
Funer than I thought
Even though the battles and the campaigns are hard, it's still really fun and joyful. The part you would like the most is campaigning and using good strategies to win. The hardest part of the campaign is the financing. I also learned a lot about Roman history. You will rate this computer game the best !!!
RTW
I love this game. I've had it for two years and I still play it. The graphics are actually pretty good. There are a couple of drawbacks to this game are no 3D naval combat, a pretty stupid AI, and some video glitches. But the rest of the game is awesome. I haven't tried online play yet, so I don't know how it is. You also don't need a graphics card or at least you don't need a really good one. Also, what i like about this game is that the Roman units are significantly stronger than the other nation's troops (there are a couple of exceptions). I would recommend this game over M2TW.
