Rome : Total War Review!

Dashken · 8th Nov 2004, 11:07 PM

War has never been an easy or simple occurrence to comprehend. Few understand it, even fewer have mastered it. To put war into recent context and historical framing would bring to mind many past masters of the Art of War. Rome : Total War brings us back to an age where honour and death, glory and sacrifice, were bedfellows.

A time when your immortality lay in your doom. A time when the names Julius Caesar, Spartacus and Hannibal invoked more fear than even the terrible retribution promised by Mars, the Roman God of War. Join Maximus_Detritus as he takes you on a captivating journey into the world of Rome : Total War and show you what it really feels to be in Caesar's own shoes!

Hey, did he buy the game ?

PS. Incidentally, Caesar wore sandals, not shoes

Adrian Wong · 9th Nov 2004, 12:08 AM

Agreed.

I used shoes only as a metaphor.

Eh ? I thought the other M.D. wrote that, not this soon-to-be M.D.

PS. What is "A time when your immortality lay in your doom" supposed to mean ?

Think of what Brad Pitt said in Troy. Your glory lay in your doom. So long as you hadn't died, ppl would not look to immortalise your name.
