Total War: Rome Remastered - Return the Eagle!

Rome: Total Thread

I’ll have to listen too as I know Rob loved Rome TW. I know I’m in the minority of people who never really fell in love with it and I recall a lot of that being the move to the 3d map and how much of the space on that map felt wasted. Maybe I need to go back to this and see if my opinion has changed, but a reinvigorated modding scene for it with some of the limitations lifted may also be the ticket for me.

Following up from a recent episode where Rob interviewed two CA developers about working at CA and on the development history of the original Rome: Total War. The latest episode of the Three Moves Ahead podcast, released about four days ago, is all about Rome Remastered itself. Apparently Rob had a Chick Parabola experience with the original Rome: Total War where he started out enamored with it and then became less so as he noticed began noticing weaknesses in the game’s AI and such. An interesting debate about how the older games compare to the new modern Total War titles, how the series has evolved over time, and what lessons\features the modern Total War games might be able to gleam from the trip down nostalgia’s road with the remastering of Rome.
