Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition

It's Rome II. Not much to say at this point except it's a good game.
Like all TW games Mods make it great.

Probably the best total war game so far. Also the online community is active

What can I say, it is Rome 2, its awesome! It has its little problems but is a solid TW game that I've sunk over 1800 hours into. And I am proud of it.

fun to play, once have that 6/12 turn per year mod installed

I cannot play to the game at all. I can only hear the music but cannot see it. So disappointing. I hope that steam will at least return what it costs.

Total war games are masterpieces. Rome 2 was my first Total war game and was instantly my favorite. Combat in the game is challenging and very well done. Naval warfare is still a low point but has improved drastically. The empire management is well crafted. Nothing I love more than to see a political rival start a civil war.

Increased my resolution. BOOM! crash! crashed so bad it broke my whole pc had to restart and everything. dosent end there though.. it dosent even launch anymore i want a refund. i dont care if i exceeded my play limit i cant play anymore!

ROME II Total War - Emperor Edition is an amazingly fun and strategic game play experience for types of gamer's whom love & enjoy historical based campaigns and freestyle types of RTS adventure.

I don't know what it is about this entry and shogun 2 but I just keep coming back to them time and time again.

This is, and i can't stress this enough, the GOAT of strategy games. still, in 2024, this game is a world-beater. the only thing that could top this would be a remaster of this game. ***HINT HINT, GIVE ME A REMASTER PLZ****

Honestly my favorite game rn, i like to simulate the battles if im gonna win. go east and conquer and get tons of armies

I don't know if it's useful to send it here, may I ask why my arc750 graphics card crashes as soon as I start the game? Does this game not support high-performance graphics cards?

Spartan in movies are bad ass and strong but in this game it more weaker than a tribe. 10/10

Great tactic game, but in Hard mode it s too hard, maybe because I play with Schordisi

Game crashes and will not proceed when reloaded. Waste of money, despite very good PC specs.

Game is fun. Can be a bit easy with some factions and harder with others. Need smarter AI.

For a long time Total war was leading the RTS genre. This is one of the better games they have ever made if you enjoy the complexity around diplomacy with a good mix of battles/wars in there.

9.4/10 For Me
There is not much I really have to complain about this game. I mainly have had 2 issues neither of them change my thoughts about the game.
1} Some Siege Battles When defending the A.I glitches out and wont move. I have not found a direct cause or solution besides restarting the battle until it does not happen when it does.
2} Some maps are glitched and when you give orders some troops will carry it out but not in the most direct way possible creating situations where troops take to long to move or because the way they want to move expose themselves to flanks that the enemy can take advantage of especially if they are already in the area.

Other than that , it seems really balanced and runs smooth. The depth of units, their types and factions all play roles. This is nice because it gives meaning to troops rather than just names and forces you to think about your attacks in match ups.
Overall a solid game especially for those who love RTS.

this game its OK, but the AI cheats in the hardest and legendary mode...CA sucks

Great value atp. Good mod support and variable gameplay.

Amazing game! Only problem for me is every now and then i run into a "unspecified error" that prevents me from only joining my friend's match, i can freely join randoms. this is also happening to him. this bug/error happens once in a blue moon for us and i haven't found any surefire fix for it

When i first got this game it was the best buy i had made, loved playing. However as of late even with a new laptop, new SSD, and two new sticks of RAM, as well as doing everything else in my power to try and fix the game its unplayable. The launcher pops up but when I press play no matter what I do the game just shuts down and doesn't start up. I cant get a refund because ive played to many hours. Now i have a great game that i cant do anything with, a huge waste of my money, not to mention I have 3 DLC's i paid for.

One of the best Total wars out there that includes great elements from the hellenistic period. I don't know why I haven't reviewed this before but I got this game on release and it has evolved into a state where it's completely revamped, mod support is great if you don't like the base game and there is plenty of territory to fight. The overall graphics of terrain and details in units are really nice and interesting. Each faction is unique.

As an avid player of the Total wars series, i was disapointed with the carthaginian campaign. Everything seems hardcoded as factions declare war on you for no appearent reason, famine and slums pop out of no where with no permanent fix other than trying build those special buildings. Carthage is apparently a shithole and Novacarthago is basically declaring war on all its surrounding factions forcing you to be in constant state of dealing with hordes of enemies while battling at the same time nonsensical famines and insurrections in all settlements. Unenjoyable.

An absolute classic that offers hours and hours of enjoyment, both single player and multiplayer.

This is my favourite map painting game.

You just can't beat the feeling of holding the enemy with you stacks of roman legionaries while you smash them from behind with heavy cavalry charges resulting in a mass rout. 10/10

so the "Emperor Edition" is $89.99... it comes with NO DLC...

Creative Assembly expect me to spend an extra $200 for the DLC and expansions!?? the absolute audacity behind these greedy tactics... WAIT for a price cut even if its once a year WAIT!! DO NOT REWARD GREED

i haven't played this game in years but the only thing that hasn't changed is CA and their GREEDY monetisation!

OH! the game crashes TOO guess i better use mods to fix this.... ffs

best out of the series in my opinion. been playing for a very long time. game was crushed when they removed chat feature. so now only play single player or with existing friends

All I can say, is if you don't pick Rome and they're anywhere within reach of your territories, either attempt to ally with them or prepare to fight a defensive war against them. They WILL come for you.....

Great TW game with great campaign and immersive and cinematic battles

This really isn't a sequel, nor is it an upgrade, to Total War: Rome. Rome II is not a bad game, after a few years of patching, it has gone from a good, but very buggy game to a damn good, maybe even great game. And with the Divide et Impera mod suite (customized to your preferences), it is a really deep, interesting game.

Unfortunately, the first Total War: Rome game and Medieval II were at their core, absolutely incredible games , and now with Rome Remastered, I came to the realization that they are just better, modded or not. It's not even a nostalgia thing, because I got into Total War with Rome II - in spite of the inferior graphics, some sloppy history issues (Mackedonian Egypt being treated as Egypt of the time of pharaohs unit-wise, the weird three family split of Rome etc - which were corrected by mods thankfully), and a more dated interface, the older games just provide a richer, more interesting experience.

Still, this game is good enough unto itself, that I gladly play it when I get burned out on the others, or just for a different experience, so I absolutely recommend it. I mean I have 1202 hrs in it at the time of this review - so there's that! I miss the Creative Assembly of the old days, but things are looking brighter with Pharaoh: Dynasties.

Great game. I have play a lot of the Total War games and I still come back to the Rome series.

yes. is underrated.

base game is good.
play with divide et impera mod. total rework - makes the game more 'historical' in feel and content accuracy... less arcade-y with some re-balancing. Really makes it a different game.

I did love this game...up until I could not play it anymore. Crashes every time on the pop up campaign menu. No error messages, nothing, just closes as if I never clicked on anything. I've tried every fix, uninstalled and reinstalled countless times, looked up Sega FAQ, and even tried to use Steam support. Steam has no support for this game, so fuck me. I can't play this game so it's hard for me to enjoy it. Some update they came out with that now makes it impossible to play.
