Description
A modification for Rome: Total War starting at the beginning of the Second Punic War and taking Rome to the height of her Imperial glory! With aims to improve graphics, historical authenticity and game-play equally as well as being well-balanced.
Features
- A new map spanning from Scandinavia to Central Africa and to India
- Replaced a couple of factions with some more attractive and interesting ones.
- Multiplayer oriented, the multiplayer is one of the main aspects and gameplay balance is particularly taken care of.
- Unit balancement in order to respect historicity and fun gameplay. If a faction was definetly useless and uncompetitive in history, have been helped a bit to survive on multiplayer.
- Historicity, all units are remade in historical way, so there are completely new unit lists, not huge ones but good ones, of which you are always able to find the sources used and documentated, mainly information taken from osprey books, the several books about uniforms and reconstructions of ancient hera, plus help from several experts on the ancient history.
- The gameplay is balanced by expert multiplayers, plus battles are longer.
- Some other scripting is present.
