I really like the mod so far, even with the few kinks here and there.

My main problem with Rome is that the previous Total Wars were mostly historical strategy games with challenging campaigns, where you had to made good decisions and planning to win, but Rome mostly game off as an action game - not much strategy, less thinking required, less difficulty and instead of being historical, it seems to of been trying to be a game for the Gladiator movie.

This mod makes it tough and historical, makes you use strategy and planning again, so I like it alot. It's not totally finished up, but they keep constant work on it so it's very promising to think of what the later versions will be, but the latest is still very good.

So basically, the mod restores it back to being Total War.
