On a day like this, it's not so hard to see why Romans would want to conquer somewhere at the very edge of the world-somewhere like Britannia. (Inside, we're all working like galley slaves, only without a big greasy bloke beating a drum in the corner!) Outside our "luxury development facility" at Creative Assembly, the sky is a deep blue, the sun is shining, and we're currently basking in positively Mediterranean levels of warmth. Happy Roman families are all alike, while every unhappy Roman family is unhappy in its own way.Īll in the Family By Mike Brunton Writer/Designer, Creative Assembly We'll let Mike Brunton, writer and designer for Creative Assembly, explain. And, as it turns out, families will play a large part in this process, because you'll need to maintain and manage a burgeoning clan of distinct personalities to succeed. But between the real-time battles, you'll engage in a deep, sophisticated, turn-based strategy game as you attempt to consolidate your power over the ancient world. In Rome: Total War, you'll command the legions of Rome (and several other factions) on the battlefield in stunning 3D. In the past, we've covered the huge, epic scale of Rome: Total War, the exciting, upcoming strategy game from Activision and British developer Creative Assembly.
