New to Rome: Such a MASTERPIECE! I've never played such a MIGHTY GAME!

[Grand Duke Vytautas]

Hi, I've just bought this spectacular game Rome Total War and want to share my expressions with you guys, fans of historical RTS games! This game is so spectacular, that I can't make myself get off from computer screen after starting it! It is exactly 2 games in 1: a campaign map and battle map, which makes the game an absolute king of strategy. The interface is spectacular, the music is heart-braking, the sounds effects makes it even more marvelous! I've almost fallen in love with that woman assistant! ( )And what graphics! God, I love this game! Roma Victoria! Hail Ceaser!

Hehe, I can't seem to keep me from noticing a certain enthousiasm in this post... Anyone else gets the same impression?

[solypsist]

with a name like his you just knew the post wasn't going to be short and deflated

[nokhor]

for a jaded grognard like me, its good to see newbie exuberance. brings back memories of my yout'.

heya grand duke, could you do me a favor and post back here after you finish your second campaign? i would like to have your impressions then. hopefully they will still be favorable.

Hey Grand Duke, if you havent allready, start a campaign with the Selucids, thats when the real fun begins!

[BobTheTerrible]

With all these people complaining about how "this game is barely a beta" is good to see someone who actually enjoys the game as much as I do! Simply amazing is the only word for it, and I'm convinced CA will fix the relativlely few bugs in the game through patches.

I've worked my way through STW, MTW and now RTW. The games just keep improving. I share his joy in gaming.

Well, Grand Duke, welcome to TOTAL WAR: WHATEVER. They just keep getting better.

@Zild, My description is not a comment about the game.

[Grand Duke Vytautas]

THANK YOU guys for your support. This is the best game I've played ever in my life. I can't even express myself of its MAGNIFICENCE! I've already played MTW, but haven't tried STW thus far - the Total War games are indeed amazing, but ROME:TOTAL WAR IS A KING OF STRATEGY, because I find the features of "Ceaser", "Civilization" and many other strategy games put all together in this masterpiece. Now I am playing my first campaign in this glorious game as Julii family; already kicked some asses of gaul barbarians and am enjoying the game completely. The more I play, the more interesting it becomes. Wish me luck. ROMA INVICTA!

My, Gawd, but your exhuberance is catching. Wonder if I can go home early from work?

I could but I have to wait for the metro today, and it comes at 6:30 pm

[bhutavarna]

this game sucks!!! JUST KIDDING.

I'm glad someone is enthusiastic about RTW. It's an awesome game despite of a few glitches that I'm sure will be fixed.

On a side note, I also want to say that this forum is much better compared to the other two (.com and .net). People are more civilized and considerate here.

[Lonewarrior]

@ Zild and @ Duck. Ok you two, stop fighting about my description, I'm the one that's supposed to be fighting about it and I'm not now, stop this here please, and hug each other.

[Lord Ovaat]

now, stop this here please, and hug each other.

In spite of my complaining about the battles being too easy (of course I am exploiting the over-powered archers to no end) I would agree that CA has created a masterpiece. Now if we can just get another patch with all the things I want changed in it then life will be perfect (well, gaming wise anyway). Thank god it's Friday so that I have time for a good long session (36 hours too many?)!
