After reading a book on Roman emperors I started playing Rome 2. Because of the problematic launch I never progressed far in the campaign. It seems the game was properly patched as I'm having a blast now.

I always enjoyed Rome TW, but it lacks some core game mechanics that Rome 2 does way better: political scheming, civil war, provinces, garrison, ... I also loathed the anachronistic representation of certain cultures in Rome TW.

In short: even if it's already 10 years old, I can't recommend the game enough, certainly when you are a romanophile!

With the Divide et Impera mod, I think it's the best historic TW game. Especially if you're in to Roman history and like realism.
