The background movie might be causing the lag... If you want you could disable it to try to get rid of the lag, it is easy to fix...

create a shortcut of Rome Total War, and right click it and open properties

on the Target Line you will see "D:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe"

just add -nm to the end of the line so it looks like this

"D:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -nm

and then you are done :D hope this helps, tell me if you have any questions or if it doesnt work

The battles were all nice and such but when I went back to the menu screen, there was this horrible lag again. I can't seem to find out what is causing this lag.

If someone could help me, I would appreciate a lot
