Agree, out of all total war games rome was and is the most unique and best game. For what its worth, im only now playing RTR and im enjoying it immensely. It even got me to finally fix the dreaded long standing "blue screen of death before battle" bug (RTR crashed every battle so i asked a pro) amazing all i did was delete the page file settings in advanced performance options (click dont use box) years and years of asking on the forums had me reinstall every driver and file upto and including win OS (none of which ever worked) but that one clicked box solved it all
Sorry to go OT but fixing bsod actually does resolve alot of "unrest"
Or 12 years later!
