Is it still worth playing?
The Creative Assembly's 2004 strategy game for Windows, the third Total War game, combining a turn based campaign on an overhead map with real time 3D battles. It runs from 270 BC to 14 AD. In the campaign you manage economy, government, diplomacy and military, capture cities by siege or bribery, and build temples, barracks and aqueducts that affect income, upkeep and happiness, since unhappy cities revolt. Family members are born, adopted or married in, with traits, and you can use spies, diplomats and assassins. In battle, infantry, cavalry, archers and siege weapons fight, morale makes units flee, and formations such as the phalanx and testudo trade mobility for defense. A campaign and real time battles that feed each other, with morale and formations deciding fights, still make every war a decision about what to risk today.
