![]() There is nothing quite like ordering around a full 160-man stack of legionaries, or a blobbed horde of 300 screaming, half-naked Gauls. Modern Total War games, take note: Epic scale units rule. Modern Total War games have decided to emphasize unit model quality over scale, but Rome Remastered thankfully does not make this mistake. They're just clunkier, simpler, and less dynamic than you want them to be. They were great in 2004, but today's standards are much higher. Where Rome Remastered doesn't shine? The real-time tactical battles. Were doing modded but all of them work for multiplayer and we got to around turn 50 and then we started running into desync after desync. ![]() The controls are pretty shiny too, with a modernized suite of hotkeys and mouse control standards that incorporates over a decade of innovations. Multiplayer Campaign Desync BottledCoochie3179 6:21AM in Multiplayer Bugs Me and my friend have been trying to play the chorfs in a ROC campaign. Making these old campaigns easy and quick to play with a much-updated user interface is where Total War: Rome Remastered really, really shines. ![]() There's also the Alexander campaign from that expansion, if you want a more streamlined experience. With two huge campaign setups between the original game and the Barbarian Invasion expansion, there are a lot of ways to conquer the ancient and early medieval worlds. I think the best compliment I can give is that, with the changes made, the graphics look as good as nostalgia says they looked 17 years ago. The battles especially just look lackluster because the battlefields are so bare of features. They're better by leagues, with lots of sad building models getting remade, especially on the campaign map, but they're nothing compared to any modern Total War. The music especially is much higher quality than the old game, and whatever magic was worked there has revitalized one of the best soundtracks of an entire era. That's not to say the graphics or sound are lacking. Heat maps and new icon overlays have been added for gameplay. The somewhat-aged rig I played it on was able to chop along at maximum settings and peak unit sizes quite happily, with no stuttering in even the largest battles. The in-game camera has been enhanced, including map rotation and wider zoom level in Campaign mode. The old Rome: Total War didn't always play well with modern hardware. Its coming to Windows, Mac and Linux on 29th April this year, with cross-platform multiplayer available from the off - another series first - and will include both the Alexander and Barbarian. This campaign comes as part of Total War: ROME II Emperor Edition and is available as a free, automatic update to existing owners of Total War: ROME II. As a remaster, a lot of attention is going to be given to how it looks and sounds, but what you really get out of this remaster is how it plays. The Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack is a new playable campaign for ROME II, which rivals the original ROME II Grand Campaign in both scope and scale.
