In addition to the behind-the-scenes video hosted by Electronic Theatre last week, The Creative Assembly has begun a series of highly-detailed developer diaries for the forthcoming Total War: Rome II. If you are a truly hardcore Total War player you can get even more detail from Lead Unit Designer, Jack Lusted’s Vidcast – only for the most serious of fans; you have been warned.
Total War: Rome II launched 10 years ago today, and remains a staple in the grand strategy genre in PC gaming.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."
EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.
So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.
hmmm, my interest has definately been 'piqued'. I loved Rome Total War, may have to finally upgrade my 2005 pc 0.o
