  • simply beautiful

  • What I would like to see is a Rome 2 with a multiplayer similar to Shogun 2's, a Grande Campaign like the original with even more factions and an improved diplomatic system, as well as a few minor campaigns like a pre-roman empire Italy map... something I can play quickly to kill time. I would pay well over 50 bucks for a game with that much content.

  • I am not an American, I am Turkish-Canadian, yet the American Civil War does intrest me. The generals are some of the best of their time, and the strategic and tactical movements of armies and such are something I find worth studying. But I doubt it can make up an entire installment in the total war franchise. It is more probable to be a minor campaign like the Italian and Egyptian ones from Napoleon Totalwar, or the 4 minor maps from the Medival II expansion.

  • If there was any civil war that would be suitable for a Total War game, I think the Warring States period in China would rank amongst the most viable.

    I actually would love to see a Total War Asia, set in antiquity ranging from as far west as the Persian Empire territory to Japan. I believe that has potential.

    Shogun 2, while beautiful, lacked variety in troops/factions to have reply value IMO.

  • @fedupN

    Tch Or the Three Kingdoms Period in China. Forgot to put that in

  • @fedupN True and the Three kingdoms from DW would be a great era bas a game around or an expansion of a said Asia total war.

  • American civil war period is interesting to all of you americans. To the rest of the world it means NOTHING.

    OH what mighty fun to play 2 lousy fations and their identical set of units. NOT

    Stop trying to force focus on america on every total war game just because its your country.

    Acept that you are a new nation with LITTLE to NO history compared to the rest of the "old known" world.

    Its not enough that us has to be in every fps game now it has to be in all of the total war series too? Why..

  • @JohnTheMighty Not really any historian the civil war in America is interesting or should be. But A total war civil war game wouldn't be that great compared to this marvel

  • @Xboxishomo

    The world has seen dozens of civil wars, the only thing special about the ACW is the fact that it happened on what is now the leading superpower of the world and a big gamer market.

    A total war civil war game would be a complete disaster and bore fest for any non-american, because the gameplay is reduced to 2 factions with almost similar units and fighting styles. Acept that the rest of the world doesnt care and would very much like seeing a new RTW.

  • @JohnTheMighty Well the world should care about it along with almost everything historical importance. I know we are sick of American media and emphasis and ignorance but the war was very significant in modern history but as I said before wouldn't make a sole total war game.

  • @JohnTheMighty because MOST americans think they are cool and stuff and that the world gives 1 tiny fuck

  • I like Rome Total War but i don't wish to see a remake anytime soon when they could do things like the American Civil War period which i think would be more interesting play.

    Thanks for the music clip tho :)

  • Oh my god, this brings back memories!

  • @MrBrent123t I read the first part of this and thought it was some pseudo-intellectual douchebag trying to pull a quote from CoD4 and look well read and then i read the rest and rofled... well played my friend, well played.

  • @69BitchSlapFU

    >Napoleon and Shogun 2 bad

    What made Napoleon and Shogun 2 so bad?

  • ROMA INVICTA!!!

  • I remember how I spent a whole night playing this game when I first installed it... and a foggy morning after it. Nice days.

  • @r1c0ch3t211

    Or Roma Surrectum

  • I feel like this song is somehow almost the same song as one i heard while playing dune 2000

  • best of the total wars games

  • daaaaaaaammmmnnnn... I remember how small I was when my dad kept playing this game almost all the time...I really loved this theme :3

  • Best theme tune ever.

  • Only one bad thing in Rome TW is historical INACCURACY . It should have MANY MANY more cities,factions,and different units.

  • @m1nd0r FK YOU!

  • @sapperzulu Well that's a constructive comment.

  • @m1nd0r That was never the pont.

    The point was to make a balanced game, loosely set in Ancient Rome. They had "Yubtseb" Elephants (read the word backwards if you don't get why it supports my point) spawning at the top of the map in Hyperboria (along with Amazon chariot women) which kind of (deliberately I guess) removed all pretence at being historically accurate. Just download Rome: Total Realism if you want that.

  • i think the reason rome is so good is the era, no era could have such a huge variety in ways of fighting, roman legionarys,greek hoplites,asian elephant and so many different cultures of warfare, in different area's. rome total war 2 would be a great idea, or anything around 300bc to 300 ad.

  • @11haythem If they expanded the map in Rome 2 so that it stretches from Europe to China, I would be so immensely happy. I can just imagine it now, the Roman Empire takes on the Han Dynasty, two great Empires from two entirely different spheres of influence, just going at it. Comparative Culture to the extreme. And the game spans from the Roman Republic to the late Dark Ages, encompassing the Punic Wars, First and Second Triumvirate, Christian reformation, and the Rise of Islam.

  • @Killzoneguy117 PLEASE CREATIVE ASSEMBLY, MAKE THAT A THING NOW!!!! 

  • @11haythem Not sure about that many era's are amazing, I think the Total war team perfected nearly every aspect of this game obviously including the atmosphere

  • chuck norris..... you have met your master.

  • @11haythem

    fuck yeah, a roman legionary could drop chuck norris in 5 seconds :V

  • Rome Total War 3 Thumb up

  • Reminds me of the Good Old days :)

  • @SEANNEEY what do you mean sir

  • Sounds a lot like Devinitius. Guess they used the soundtrack from this and changed a few things and added the lyrics.

  • 666 like this !!

  • amazing...

  • Alright Creative Assembly. Get working on Rome 2. NOW. Seriously, this is your best fucking game in the series. THE BEST. Just don't change it too much like you did to Shogun 2....

  • @ThePHOXman I liked Shogun 2. Best a.i. in the series and good multiplayer options.

  • @1993DaVinci china?

  • These days, game developers are forgetting about the basics of game design. Those basics evolved trough years. I noticed such in the last titles, such as Shogun2.

  • UNLEASH HELL!!

  • If this music play when riot and barbarian crumble my glorious Roman empire, i will cry...

  • This game is what catalysed my entry into my current Classical Studies degree. Fucking love it. Cheers, Creative Assembly.

  • wow wow wow I LOVE ROME TOTAL WAR !¨!!!!!!!!!¨!

  • Ahhh....brings back memories

  • what is the name of this music?

  • @MrLucas14996 Name is : Rome total War - Forever

  • theme of antiquity, is the best in the series of total war

  • total war and relic should work together. warhammer40k+company of heroes+total war = EPIC

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome music......not loud or overbearing or operatic.. simply understated and divine...not a gaming or roman fan by d way...just luv this music...and jeff van dyck seriously needs more recognition...what a genius !!!!!

  • In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.

  • @ibanezgeorge Love it.

  • @ibanezgeorge si vis pacem,para bellum

  • @ibanezgeorge so long as there are men, there are wars

  • @ibanezgeorge Ohh...the Irony of that qoute...

  • I love this game!!

    $4.99 Rome Gold + Rome: Alexander on Steam

  • @mefisto1504 I bought Total war Mega pack which costed me only A$20! ($US1 = A$1 )

  • OH THE NOSTALGIA!

  • the perfect theme for the most important empire in history of time, one that has shaped the world in ways we can only begin to understand

  • @1993DaVinci I agree. This game makes me want to make sure that everyone in the world knows the importance that that the Romans and Greeks had on us. Its too much for so many to be ignorant about. :(

  • bastardo!

  • IMPERATOR!

  • try a battle:

    you: 1 troop of spartan hoplites

    enemy: every slot full (parthian peasants)

    hahaha then the peasants are dieing like flies :D

  • @Oesterreich1156 thats shows how the game balance is shit!

  • @Oyrad58 Except peasants are dirt cheap and the Spartans are not, and Spartan hoplites are super effective against them, but the AI isn't smart. It's easy to win with the peasants actually if played with a human player, you just flank the hoplites where there spears don't point, and if they switch to swords, it's a more even match.

  • @Tomaszavenger well i ve played this game for years. i know this too. but i must say that the game is not balanced.

  • @Oyrad58 noooo.....THIS IS SPARTA! :D

  • roma victa

  • its like im at the main menu customizing my army I MISS ROME TOTAL WAR!!

  • Freaking awesome main menu music

  • Medieval 3 total war and rome total war 2 (on new engine) Thumb up if agree

  • @kastian17

    And QUAD core support for possibility to play ultra!

  • @kastian17 but nothing to high something that anyone can play

  • @kastian17 I have a better idea WORLD WAR 2 TOTAL BLITZKRIEG and it would be great if the creative assembly features all countries that participated not just the big players like Germany Great Britain and Russia but small countries like Poland,Finland,Romania,Italy,B­ulgaria,Serbia etc.LOL but seriously they have announced that they are working on some kind of Alien ( movie Alien ) based game ( WTF ) maybe ALIEN:TOTAL WAR

  • @bob4o99 Plese no please fucking no dont scrou up tha fucking game saga

  • @bob4o99 no that sounds terrible because when they put guns in empire all their games started sucking

  • this song is so roman / ancient times

    RTW FTW

  • @JordoF6 patrolling the roman boarders almost makes you wish for a gaul attack

  • 13 people need to taste Roman steel in the hands of a Brutii fist!

  • @JWade29 Scipi army's is the best !! i play with blue romans ! (Scipi army's) sorry i dont know the real name of them becouse me rome total war is russian edition :DDD

  • @chicony75

    The Scipii.............TRASH! They have no respect for proper roman ways.

  • @JWade29 No way dude Scipii is best !!! Strongest faction ever even stronger than senate or bruti army !

  • Carthago delenda est.

  • COOOOOOOOOOOME BACK COWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!

  • Cavalry Genius - Anyone has this trait on your general? :D I'm not bragging, just like the trait LOL! I use cavalry extensively even in sieging towns. Just scout and wait for the enemy come outside. They will be massacred!

  • Omg so many nerds...

  • Italian people should remember and hail Rome, not Mussolini.

  • @MaggotPriest

    Mussolini tried to bring back Italian nationalism by remembering and hailing Rome.

  • @cleaningotis Yeah, but I think that the way romans lived was really far from the way italian people had to live during the fascist dictatorship. Too bad most of italian people only think about themselves and not about the others (as they did in the fascist era), that's why we have Berlusconi as a prime minister. Sigh.

  • SHAMEFUR DISPRAI, oh shit wrong game....

  • Ave Caesar !! Morituri Te Salutant :D new Rome must be in next year !!

  • S.P.Q.R.

  • @Ramizello The best in the game :D

  • rome total war 2 thumb up

  • @GodOfNosferatu67 Rome 2 Total war* Total war is the name of the serie.

  • Vae Victo, Vae Victus

  • You know that a game gets the music right when you open the main menu and just sit there listening to the music for a half hour. PLEASE WE ARE BEGGING FOR ANOTHER ROME GAME.

  • I am waiting for Rome II TOtal war!! Not the Shogun shit!

  • @Kennychan222 also !!!

  • Barbarians took a big dirty shit on Rome. Hope the the US doesn't fall the same way. Infighting, corruption, laxness, then dirty shit. :(

  • @PalaceOfExile Lets hope it does! It deserves it and is deffinetly going that way!

  • Ave true to Caesar!

  • @AntonioRules99 Long Live Caesar in our memory !

  • [Gets ready for a grim siege]

    [Lost souls starts to play]

    Peter, I'm not going to let you skip lunch to play this silly computer game, downstairs right now or else I won't let you play anymore.

    [Mom] Become protectorate, accept your defeat and you may keep your honor and your lives.

  • @pedroissler oh,Fuck,Did Peter lose the battle???

  • [Peter] Damn this isn't working.

    [Massive Mom army attacks Trier]

    PETEEEER, I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT, COME YOUR LUNCH IS READY.

    [Peter thinks] I must be doing something wrong.

    [Peter] Takes the army garrisoned at Alesia, moves it to Trier.

    [Peter] Destroys a few old buildings and tries to bribe Mom still.

    [Mom] We have done you the honour of listening to your tripe, and yet nothing has been said here that was worth the hearing. This negotiation is over.

    Door opens.

  • [Mom] Peter, come downstairs lunch is ready.

    [Peter thinks] I'm gonna have to bribe.

    [Peter] Opens negotiation screen. Tries to bribe Mom.

    [Mom] We are not simple-minded. Our honour and friendship are not cheap goods for sale in a market. No, not even for your gold..

    [Peter thinks] Damn it. Ends turn.

    [Mom] PETEER, YOUR PLATE IS GETTING COLD!

    [vOICE] We're under siege

    [Peter] 35000 denarii available. Tries to bribe again.

    [Mom] Bandying empty words with such as you is a waste of time just now.

  • Epic soundtrack

  • @majerlet and epic game

  • The future total war is a good idea but i would like to play a new rome totalwar. :)

  • A Rome2:Total War would be a lot more realistic and accurate than the original. They've gotten a lot better at that.

  • all right japan rome medieval what comes next? future total war? (that should be cool :D)

  • @suonicslice A "future" total war is unlikely for the same reason a "WW2 - Total War" is. It would be focused on squad-based combat with quick movements etc., rather than the huge regimental warfare which has become the staple of the Total War series. It wouldn't be able to portray futuristic warfare in a satisfying way without changing the core aspects of the game so much that they'd be better off releasing it as something else than a Total War game.

  • @suonicslice yeah that is no offense a dumb idea if you did that it wouldnt be total war any more

  • Pleeeeease make a China Total War, CA / Sega :D

  • I dont generally play many games but I have Rome Total War. I am from Lebanon and since the majority of Phoenicia was centered in Lebanon I play as Carthage because they are from Phoenicia. This game is very good. If they make Rome 2 Total War I will fall in love.

    Peace my brothers. Kyrie Eleisomn

  • its absolutely hilarious some of the arguments that get started on youtube videos

  • In my german version stand "ich kam ,ich sah, ich siegte" and not "Ich kam, ich sah ,ich eroberte" ;)

    in germany means conquered= erobern

  • @Wonnex130 Das ist doch richtig! Ich weiss überhaupt nicht warum sie wollen unbedingt mit "conquered" übersetzten... :)

  • @canepazzoTannen84 Tzzz...immer diese Briten und Amis :D

  • Veni, Vidi, Vici means Ich kam , Ich sah, ich siegte :) and "siegte" means win ;) FascioINgabbia have it right :D

  • Comment removed

  • They have to make rtw 2. They just have to, imagine the new engine and all the mods that will be made. Yay!

  • Jeff Van Dyck is a genius, undoubtely!!

  • vini vidi vici:WAT THE FUK?

  • @9965paul vEni, Vidi, Vici.it means: I come, I saw, I won.

  • @FascioINgabbia i came i saw i conquered

  • @FullMoonSword2 nope. Victory comes from "Vici" and Victoria is the goddess of victory ;). So it is "I won" ;).

  • @FascioINgabbia wrong it means i came i saw i counquared

  • @9965paul No. It literally means "I won"

    Latin verbal paradigm is: vinco, -is, VICI, victum, -ĕre

    In italian is still quite similar: to win(ENG)=vincere(ITA)=vincĕre (LAT)

    "To conquer" is: capio, -is, cēpi, captum, -ĕre

  • @canepazzoTannen84 STOP FUCKING USING WIKI ITS BEEN 2 FUCKING THOUSAND YEARS DONT YOU THINK THE FUCKING LANGUAGE CHANGED ALITTLE!

  • @9965paul You, genius, Latin is a death language, what we study now is more or less the same as in the past. Do you have nerve issues? Please YOU stop using "fucking wiki" and troll-screaming like a little girl. I studied latin and I used my latin dictionary. What about you? Are you able to support your idea with argumentation and data or it's too difficult for you?

  • @9965paul Mr Fucked brain, if you don't know things, if you are just a huge monument of ignorance, it's better shut up your fucking mouth. Learn something, my dear speaking toilet.

  • @FascioINgabbia get a life you pussy

  • Let's see, we had the Babylonians, then the Medo-Persians, then the Greeks, and finally, ROME.

  • l could just sit at the main screen listening to this beautiful track, the music of Rome TW is so fantastic.

  • May the glory of Rome live forever, in the eyes of all who live. May the echo of the Legion's march never be silenced, and may it be heard, from horizon, to horizon.

  • So profound...

  • @Akarov88 I think I love you.

  • @Akarov88 Shogun is the original Total War game, without Shogun, the series wouldn't even exist. I love Rome... as well as Shogun, and not everyone who likes the former is a "weeaboo" you ignorant trash.

  • @KazumaShimano A wee jokey.

  • one of my favourite games of all time! You get addicted to it so easily^^

  • Rome 2 Total War, LETS DO IT CREATIVE ASSEMBLY!

  • it seems like the creative assembly are making an alian game instead for consoles or something LOOOOOOOOOL.... why create a game every total war fan wants when u can make a crappy game a ton of kids will buy for their consoles? its the call of duty-strategy everyone wants to copy, they make a crappy game with graphics thats 5 years outdated every year, but people still buy it... making a total war game must be hard, the AI is a bitch I guess.

  • @ichbingetruffen

    It's because it is a game not a movie

    Graphics are important as Nigeria's ass....................

  • this reminds me tunes from Might and Magic III

    holy crap it is the same! :)))

  • Oh rome will be pleased at such a victory!

  • This is the best game in the entire world of ever.

  • praetorians soundtrack + roma total war = jizz in my pants

  • i absolutly fucking love hat!
