Any fans? 

Just bought it.  I guess I must have had the original years back.  This one is from 2013 and had a rough launch but apparently years of patches have  turned it into a really good games.

We'll see.  Getting the "Caesar in Gaul" and "Wrath of Sparta" DLC. 

Just feelin the need to put some barbarians to the sword!  I may never want quarantine lifted!!

SPQR!

I have actually played no other games except AH for the last 20 years.

I recently saw Red Dead Redemption II for PC and it looks pretty interesting. I am thinking about getting it.

Lol yeah the band gets wet.  I have a massive fan blowing on me but still gets wet.  Not a sharing thing.  Surprised no one has come up with changeable covers so multiple players can use the headset

It is a lot of fun. I highly recommend Hellenic factions for the cavalry and heavy cavalry. PM me if you ever need tips or pointers,

Thanks.  I might do that.

In the old I only just fought the battles, but this time I'm going to take the time to figure out all the economy/diplomatic stuff.

The AI still does some dumb stuff tho.   :rofl :rofl

I am the opposite. I strive to not have to play a battle. The perfect campaign is one that ends with you victorious and having played 0 battles. Alas, many battles are played because of mistakes.

I wish they had a coop mode where you could run the gov and I could fight the battles.  :D

Co-Op is fun. The battles are fun, too. I just found that TW:Arena was good enough for the battles and I played Rome 2 for the campaign. With no more Arena, battling is all thats left. I look forward to TW: Troy.

Did you ever play an ancient game by TalonSoft  "Battleground III: Waterloo"? 

I loved that game.  Used to spend whole weekends playing it.  Saw a  documentary on Napoleon the other day and got to thinking about it.  That got me thinking about Rome TW because I prefer Greco-Roman time period. So here I am.

4am last night.  This may have been a mistake.  :D

No, I did not. But, i played TW: Empire. This is the game that my love of naval warfare is born from. Now I can name four games that were appealing to me only because they were based on naval warfare. Ancient Warfare is my area of academic expertise, so I am right there with you.
