Dr. Fong Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Never played it, my computer sucks too much, but the History Channel uses it to recreate ancient battles. So its got something going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's FAR more fun to play the Romans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Great game. Especially the battles. They are absolutely incredible. The "war dogs" units are great. Fun to watch them chase down poor schleps. The game has got great reviews from everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When used behind a stone wall or better, one can "sally forth" without even ever having to leave the cozy confines of the walls. I once destroyed an entire Carthaginian army with four onagers behind walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Total War requires an accelerator card. How do I know if ny Dell (rhymes with hell) has one, or is this an aftermarket add on not usually inlcuded in PC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I know if ny Dell (rhymes with hell) has one, or is this an aftermarket add on not usually inlcuded in PC's 244645[/snapback] How old is your machine? If you right click on "My Computer" >" Properties" > "Hardware"> (depending on OS) "Device Manager" and look for something there called "Display Adapter". Tell us what it says. If you have a graphics card it will be listed there. I know to run Rome Total War at a high resolution and detail it requires a hefty machine but it is scaleable to lower end pcs. PS It would also help to know your processor speed. Rome is a AI intensive game that needs a pretty hefty cpu as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brihs2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Best game i have ever played by far.... maybe better than madden as far as new entertainment whenever you start a new campaign. I personally bought a PC (i am an apple guy) with the main purpose of playing the game. AWESOME! Oh... one of the other message boards i frequent... great advice there and can help you with specs, the game, etc. It is the primary Rome: Total War forum http://p233.ezboard.com/fshoguntotalwarfrm7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
