    Default Rome Total War - Latin Translation?

    Google Translate won't give me any confirmation, so I was hoping someone here would. What is the translation of Rome: Total War in latin Probably been asked before but searching for "Total War" here is a bit vague I can guess but I am not sure of the endings...

    Well, "total war" is more a concept, the inverse of "divide et empera"

    Plus the Concept of Total War would be more relevant to World War 2 then Roman times.

    Afterall Germany was throwing almost EVERYTHING into the final stages of the conflict. Wheras Rome still had plenty of women and children and surplus resources

    Bellum Ultimum.

    Or, Bellum Ad Extremam.


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
    -Samuel Adams
