ROME TOTAL WAR GOLD EDITION REVIEW FULL

The Senate, a major factor in the previous game, no longer exists - players will receive no missions from them, or have to follow their advice in any way. Generals can be recruited or adopted into the family, and they come with vices, virtues, and a posse.

Buildings reflecting religion are now available, and barbarians may now build and expand settlements. A modified technology tree represents the advances made during the time between Rome: Total War and Barbarian Invasion. Light troops can swim across rivers and flank defenders. Special abilities such as the Shield Wall and Schiltron, have been added for some units. Players can decide to remain Christian or revert back to pagan beliefs. Religion takes a more important role in the expansion as well. For example, the Franks have axe-throwing Francisca Heerbann, while the Sassanids have an ultra-heavy Clibinarii cavalry. Couch conquerors will find ten additional factions that have their own strengths, weaknesses, and signature units. Players can choose to lead what remains of the Roman Empire proper, one of its rising former factions, or the invasive Barbarians themselves. Other additions include the chance to command Scythian chariots, Roman war dogs, and Hannibal's elephants.With Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion, players will find the 'old Rome' is slowly collapsing, and masses of barbarian hordes stand ready to take what they can. When it's time to go to war, the new game engine allows for bigger, more detailed battles, featuring as many as 10,000 3D units in a single conflict.
