Rome Total War PC

                                       Rome: Total War (often abbreviated to RTW or Rome) is a PC strategy game developed by The Creative Assembly and released on 22 September 2004 by Activision.^[1] The Mac OS X version of the game was released on 5 February 2010 by Feral Interactive.^[2] The game is the third title in The Creative Assembly's Total War series.

The game's main campaign is set during the rule of the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire (270 BC – AD 14),^[3] with the player assuming control of one of three Roman families; other factions are playable once they have been unlocked. Gameplay consists of real-time tactical battles framed within a turn-based strategic campaign, taking place across Europe, North Africa and the Near East. On the large strategic scale, players spend each turn managing diplomacy, developing infrastructure, moving armies, and managing the population's growth and public order through taxes and gladiatorial games, among other tasks. On the smaller scale, real-time battles against enemy armies take place within or between cities, with the player commanding forces that can contain thousands of individual soldiers.

Rome: Total War was released to critical acclaim, and has been well received by gamers, going on to generate a persistent and loyal modding fanbase. It is widely considered among the greatest strategy video games of all time.^[4][5][6]

On 2 July 2012, The Creative Assembly announced the development of Total War: Rome II as the next edition of the Total War series.^[7] Rome II is intended as a successor, featuring gameplay during the time of the Roman Republic and Empire, a larger campaign map, as well as a number of game mechanics both new and carried over from previous Total War entries.
