In a first for Total War, you can now take your favourite faction to battle against friends in cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, macOS and Linux.
Players can now expand their armies and experience 16 additional factions that were previously locked, giving a grand total of 38 playable factions. In Battle, the new tactical map, unit displays and range markers give you greater command over Rome’s battlefields. Heat maps and new icon overlays have been added for gameplay mechanics such as diplomacy and security. The in-game camera has been enhanced, including map rotation and wider zoom level in Campaign mode. ROME REMASTERED includes a host of modern features and improvements to existing mechanics. ROME REMASTERED brings the classic Rome visuals up to date, with 4K optimization, ultra-widescreen and native UHD resolution support. This visual upgrade extends across a multitude of features, including re-modeled buildings and objects, and environment effects like dust clouds and heat haze. The refreshed campaign maps also boasts new high-resolution models, and units have been remodelled and retextured to look their very best on the battlefield.
ROME REMASTERED includes the Alexander and Barbarian Invasion DLCs, as well as a copy of the original ROME: Total War Collection*, if you don’t already own it. Not everyone gets a second chance to conquer the Roman Empire. Remastered to 4K with multiple improvements to visuals as well as refinements to gameplay, it’s time to revisit a true classic. Large spread out empire that has multiple potential enemies poised to eat away at it, whilst lacking the funds and armies to respond to everything at once.Total War: ROME REMASTERED lets you relive the legacy that defined the award-winning strategy game series. A starting experience more akin to the Western Roman Empire in the Barbarian Invasion expansion or Total War: Attila. Stands in stark contrast to the typical progression of most modern Total War campaigns these days where you start out small and just constantly expand. The early game progression for Seleucids is consolidating and holding onto your existing empire from a myriad of threats.

Plus some of the campaign experiences feel more varied as well, in my opinion. As the Scipii, for example, you will often have at least the Julii, Brutii and Egyptians forming their own large empires into the mid-to-late game and offer a satisfying mid-to-late game showdown. In comparison, the original Rome often delivers an enjoyable experience enroute to hitting the point of inevitable victory because various factions will expand into satisfying opponents to face in the mid-to-late game. For all the original game’s AI faults the game typically does a good job of having large AI empires form, it isn’t unusual for Egypt to conquer much of Asia Minor and the Levant from the Seleucids.įinishing a grand campaign in Rome II feels like a slog and unnecessarily long due to a number of factors, such as the lengthy victory conditions and often a lack of similarly large AI empires to counter-balance you in the mid-to-late game. The build up and conclusion to the end-game civil war(s) between the different Roman families (factions) is much more satisfying to me in the original Rome. What the original Rome sacrifices in historical realism or accuracy, such as Rome being split into three different factions (plus the SPQR in Rome), it compensates for in producing a more compelling gameplay arc.

So, as much I want to recommend a game I love, probably not worth it for you at the full price.
That said, if the TBS\RTS hybrid approach felt clunky in one of the more modern titles I doubt that feeling is going to change with any of the earlier Total War games. I certainly prefer the original Rome over Rome II.
