It's like you have to make your own fun to enjoy Rome 2.
This is where a strong and viable family tree has always played a part in keeping me interested in playing since Shogun I. How far can #1 son take me down the road to the Shogunate?... how well will he do against Shingen or Kenshin (when not playing either of those two)...how far can I ride the horse of my cavalry genius through the deserts of Egypt and Libya?.......and so on.

Not that I just couldn't wait to get home from work and play TW, but there certainly were times I played TW instead of something else just to further the exploits of my generals
