  • Great game.

  • I don't think gold edition had the last expansion..dammit.

    • Nope. Is the Alexander expansion any good? (not listed as purchaseable separately in steam store for some reason)

  • the only game you need for entirety of 2014

  • definitely recommend this, still one of my favourite total war games to this very day. will be third time I've bought this.

  • is this an "Age of Empires" type of game?

    • Similar, but more like Civilization.

    • It takes a long time to complete a campaign, especially if you tend towards indecisiveness, as I do. There are lots of great mods to, like Roma Surrectum, Europa Barborum, etc. The graphics are acceptable for an old game too.

      Not remotely.

      This is a proper RTS in the vein of Supreme Commander, as the scale of the armies fielded allows you to employ actual tactics like flanking, fire and movement, suppression, attrition, elevation advantages, indirect fire, etc.

      E.g. Units get tired if they march/run for too long, especially if it's summer, once they're "Exhausted", even elite units will drop like a ton of bricks at the first sign of trouble. Units have morale and gain veterancy after successive battles, which determines how quickly they'll piss themselves and run in a stand-up fight. Archers/siege engines do run out of ammunition, armies can only march so far each turn on the Campaign Map (and hardly any distance on mountainous/desert terrain), you can be ambushed in heavily forested areas, etc. Masses of cavalry can be defeated by well-placed spearmen/phalanxes, conversely horse archers can whittle down enemy infantry to a handful without taking a single casualty. A handful of elite infantry on high ground or at a narrow breach in a wall can hold off hordes of poorly trained rabble. Attacking enemies facing the other way will butcher them. You can capture a city by simply drawing the defenders outside the walls in a melee and then charging your cavalry to the city centre.

      You get the idea, it's not an generic RTS.

      Age of Empires, like most so-called RTSs, is a build queue simulator; he who builds in the right order at the right time will succeed. Then it's only a matter of throwing everything at your enemy. The unit scale is just too small to employ actual tactics like flanking,

      There is no actual "city-building" per se, you simply select upgrades for cities and train units at them from the Campaign map, but the only time you see units and cities in actual 3D is in battle. Though once your Empire reaches a considerable size you will spend a lot of time trying to keep the populace from revolting and converting them to your state religion. Diplomacy also hardly ever works and once you grow too powerful or too weak all of your allies conveniently attack you.

      The first game was amazing for its time, the sequel is a step back in many aspects.

  • If only Rome 2 was this good.
