need to make a new one of this, was an open world style game really good for its time :L

Rome II/ Medieval III y/y?

A Rome II would be awesome especially with the graphics of shogun 2 and the way they fight, would be interesting to see what they would do with shields and if they would actually block arrows O.o

and Id say Medieval 3 sounds ok but I don't really see what they could add to it apart from graphics and stuff, with rome at least they would make it a different part of romes history...

Just install a decent mod.

I remember that I couldn't kill any shielded troop like Hoplites close together standing, or a testudo formation with a volley of 5 Cretan Archer teams. RTR was the one I played, only real use of archery was to run to the sides, or aim for crappy troops/skirmishers. Kinda realistic.

Sure, a few fell after some time, but it was next to useless, thinking on a huge battle scenario.

yeah archers were pretty crap and pointless in the game, I think that they should make the third age mod in to an actual Total war game, the mod is epic and if total war and sega back it it would be just plain epic, the films= awesome books= great the mod= amazing.....an actual version made by total war...... *jizz*

Nah.

Just imagine the "noob box", a square of phalangites, with dozens of archers inbetween.

Ordering them to stand ground, and with clever positioning, they won't shoot your own men.

It's stupidly powerful against the dumb AI.
Especially if you've got heavy cavalry to rout them from behind, while they're busy breaking your phalanx wall.
(Using fire arrow volleys speed this up, one charge from behind will turn into a mass rout because of the morale decrease.)
Lame strategy, and I tried to use it as few times as possible.

I only ever used them to wound the enemy inf then hammer them with legionaries them hitting them in the rear with cav to rout them easy tatic against a stupid bot as you said

Well, hence the name, ROME total war, I never played as Rome. 

I don't like their fighting style, prefer the Macedonian/Greek way more.

fair enough playing as Rome can be pretty easy unless your  fighting the other houses. playing as the barbarian factions was fun though

Don't get me started on that "Houses" thing.. 

I don't know what Creative Assembly was smoking when they thought up that.

Makes zero sense, there was the Roman "Kingdom", Republic, and later, the famous Empire that conquered the most.
And no "houses that control different parts of the faction".

[Hunter_the_Honourable]

Think its to do with something before the Empire when the three most powerful men in Rome controlled nearly everything, Pompey and julius caesar were two but i cant remember the third ill try and find the video about it

[Leshma]

Third was one of the richest people in human history, Marcus Licinius Crassus.

[Hunter_the_Honourable]

thanks leshma cant find the video  but it told you about what each man did and how it caused a civil war

You mean the Triumvirate?

Well yes, that's somewhat close, but totally, totally different than the three big houses idea of RTW.

not really, The three most powerfull men in Rome each with their own army.. Three of the most powerfull Houses in Rome each fighting to gain power over rome and rule it. pretty dam close
