An Ode to Total War: Rome II
The first time I played Rome: Total War, I was just a child
Now Rome II is on the horizon, and the excitement is driving me wild
As a tribute I thought I’d write a poem, despite my lack of ability
To show my love of Total War, and also my versatility
I’d bought a game called Gladiator, but it failed to work on my PC
So I traded it in for a similarly themed game, you could say it was meant to be
I loaded the game up, intrigued by the armies, cities and Roman setting
But I was worried it wouldn’t work again, so I mainly sat there sweating
It was once I got into the game, that I first feasted my eyes
On the detailed Roman and Gallic armies, both of an enormous size
The game then took me to the campaign map, it was ever so beautiful
Full of nations for me to crush, like Carthage, Greece and Gaul
I spent months with my new found love, learning every move
I was raising empires left and right, getting in the groove
I’d sneak up to our computer room, in the early hours
To continue from where I left off, and improve my ruling powers
Nearly ten years have passed, and it is still my favourite game
That it took so long for them to make a sequel, was really quite a shame
But Rome II is almost here, not long ‘till September third
The lines between my dreams and reality are becoming much less blurred
I want to lead a legion again, with unmatched organisation
And build a cultural paradise, with unlimited levels of taxation
I want to lead the Arverni tribes, to historically inaccurate glory
To cut my own path in the history books, and write a different story
That’s my ode to Total War: Rome II, sorry for the forced rhyme
The last time I wrote a poem I was eight years old, so it’s been a long time
Just try to understand I can’t express my love for Total War in a normal way
I think they’re the best damn games ever, no matter what you say
My poetic Ode to Rome 2
