I'll have to agree with the sentiments expressed in this thread. I haven't played Rome for weeks, the game is just so inherently flawed on the basic level. There is no hope for it unless they remake it from the ground up, which is unlikely. I was really looking forward to this game, and the end result has left me very dissapointed and discouraged. I had never even looked at the totalwar series before I saw early screens from RTW. I thoght it looked so impressive that I went out and bought medieval. Well, it appears that yet another company has decided to sell out to the knuckle-dragging, drooling hordes of x-box owners. Is it so hard to release a fun game, when your game is a sequel to the most impressive strategy game ever. CA ruined everything that was great about MTW. Just thinking about trying to order my units to move in Rome makes me mad. I am utterly disgusted and saddened by RTW.
