Well Ive fired the campaign up and bugger me is it in depth. So many choices to make , so much to manage. going to try and dominate the shipping lanes to the bahamas and make a killing on exports :D but to do that I need to research navy & cannon upgrades to fill in the pirates! The scope of this seems truly impressive.

I love the Mod Rome Total War

The screen shots on U-Tube looked great.
I think I may splash the cash for this too!
(Hopefully It will not need Mods to "work", like Barbarian Invasions did!)

I've played the demo - this is awsome. The scale of the battle was far better than anything in any of the TW's.

I'd certainly recommend this & it's so scalable that I had it playing (the demo) fine at 1950x1080 on my macbook (geforce 9400m) hooked up to an external monitor just fine.

Just waiting for my steam download to finish now :0)

sat in Brunei, game is in the post from Play.com... fingers crossed it will be here by the weekend, but more likely next week :(

have played every incarnation to death since Shogun (ah, how rubbish that looks now!) and every add-on. think one of the most enjoyable was playing as the spanish in the americas add-on. slaughtering unarmoured natives with rifles and artillery - so wrong, but SO much fun :D
