At that time, the Mediterranean is still a huge cheese. Many different factions are there and they often make war. Your goal is to become emperor of Rome, the most prestigious city!

In Rome Total War must care of diplomacy to defeat your enemy. If you want to fight against all nations at the same time is not really a good idea. That is why you must make alliances in order to make war easier to bear. In Rome Total War you can send spies to other cities in order to learn more about them and how many soldiers are garrisoned. You can also use the assassins to kill significant characters and even the king enemy!

This game is divided into two parts: a management part and battle part. The management is used to manage your empire. For example, you can build buildings in order to earn money, train new units. The battle allows you to control a battle that when two armies meet. This battle can be a battle between two armies, an attack on a city or town defence. You control in real time the actions of your units.
