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

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.

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.
