I've been able to play behind routers before...but it
may just be that you need to forward some ports. Clearly Hamachi is working. Rome, like any other game/engine, uses certain network ports to pass and receive data when in multiplayer mode. Although the following link is for a Linksys WRT54G router, you may find your own router by browsing the router list on the site:

Apparently RTW uses quite a number of ports. Also, in case you've messed around with the adapter priorities, make sure it's as follows:
Essentially you want your Internet-accessing adapter (i.e., wifi, or ethernet) to connect first, before your comp connects through Hamachi. This is the default by the way, since Hamachi 2 came out, that's why people don't need to bother with this anymore, lest they ruin what otherwise works.
Other than ports and priorities, I'm not sure what could possibly be happening. I know I've had cases brought before me like this where the person seemed to have everything set up just fine, but couldn't see anyone in the Network. I don't know why this happens, just glad it's rare, not frequent.
