This was, naturally, unrealistic - though the argument that the city represents a whole region is a fair one. They could all be military, economic, and sociological powerhouses. Every city you conquered, you could build everything. Rome: Total War, for example, was very different from more modern titles in several ways. You feel like a video game archaeologist, looking at things from the ancient world and being able to point out the changes. The one interesting thing about reviewing a seventeen-year-old game that acted as the launchpad for eleven games is looking at how so many refinements began and what has changed. It's also one that I won't hide and one that had undeniably had an impact on my review of Total War: Rome Remastered. A love that has seen me play the previous eleven Total War games on the day of release (or earlier in the case of my reviews of the previous five releases).

In fact, it's a love of the series as a whole. Why am I telling you this? That's because I want to make it clear that I have a love for the original. I got a graphics card, and my conversion to the master race began. I asked my uncle why and he told me that it was because I didn't have a graphics card or not one that could run the game.

I had played games on the PC before that, quite a bit, but I was done. I then saw Total War in some form of paper-style binding that was covering video games. I remember watching Time Commanders when I was younger, and I loved the look of it. Rome was also the game that converted me to PC gaming. Rome was the game that truly set the series going. Total War is arguably the biggest strategy franchise around, so it makes sense for all the titles to be placed together in the alphabetical drop-down ordering of life.
Well, Total War: Rome Remastered, as it's now known. I've likely mentioned it a few times in the past, but if there is one game that has a place in my heart, it's Rome: Total War.
