Campaigns, historical battles, or roll your own custom battles —offers a nice selection of things to do. I much prefer it to LEGION ARENA. Perfect? Nope. But as good as it gets for ancients war gamers with MACs. Enjoy!

Review by Jason Aglietti for Rome: Total War Gold Edition

The Total War series has been regarded as one of the finest strategy franchises for the PC, scoring a remarkable 9.4 out of 10 by [...].
It is a remarkable game that allows the player to begin their quest for glory and power in ancient Rome, and then being able to move on to more than two dozen other fractions set in the ancient world. It is a well rounded game allowing players to micro-manage each town, city, and battle, or you can delegate the computer to help you out. There are no lags, loading time is faster than it is on its PC counterpart, and battles are as fast as ever. Unfortunately, there have been no upgrades to to the graphics, but game-play is so enjoyable it will only bother the hardcore gamers.
It’s a highly enjoyable game which leaves us hoping Creative Assembly will bring Medieval 2 and Empire Total War to the Mac platform.

What more can I say about this fantastic game that hasn’t been said or written ? Realistic, challenging, educative etc etc.
I had the PC version, but since I now Use an Imac, I thought the graphics would be so much better and push this game a couple of notches up. No disappointment with the classic Rome version. However, as another reviewer has said, there a re SERIOUS issues with the “extra” barbarian part.
Everything goes fine until you get into the later stages of the game. Then, the problems start. I crashed repeatedly when taking Philadelphia from the rebels. Finally found the answer in just retreating and besieging the place over and over again, until they surrendered. I thought I successfully bypassed the BUG. Well, no, I didn’t. Got the same crashes when besieging the last Sassanid city. It did not matter whether I did automatic, used less troops, used different troops, took the city or waited for time to pass (Sassanids were attacking me). So I finally decided to do the same thing as with Philadelphia. Retreating from the siege and going back to besieging. It’s annoying because you have to immobilize troops you could use elsewhere, but at least it doesn’t crash.
Alas, while working towards conquering northern provinces of Africa (you need to conquer 34 provinces, including Alexandria, Carthage Rome and another one), and having to pass turn, the game crashed again. I have tried several options, but you need to pass turn at some point, and the game crashes inevitably. In summary, I am stuck.
I will probably try to return the game because of these fatal flaws. This game’s release was postponed several times, and the reason was probably because they couldn’t have it debugged. They still haven’t. People at Feral, PLEASE DO NOT release a product if you are not sure it will work….

I originally played this game for the PC and was excited when it finally came out for mac. My impression has been mixed.
Rome: Total War
This is the better of the two games. I first started playing as Brutii and so far so good. I have had no problems. However, when I tried the game as Gaul, problems started to arise. I was besieged early on by a Roman army, but when I tried to attack with the army in the settlement, the game just froze. On one settlement, there were added buildings to one of the religious buildings (5 tiers of upgrades instead of the usual 3).
Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion
This is the game I have had problems with. I started playing with the Franks. When I tried to capture the Saxons capital, the game crashed. I tried several ways (play the battle out, auto-resolve, etc.) but the game crashed each time. The same thing happened when I played as the Saxons trying to take London from the Romano-British.
Overall, the game has been fun to play. Other than the above mentioned problems, the game play has been very smooth. I am hoping a future update will fix some of these problems. I have sent an email to Ferral Support, and am still waiting to hear back. Until then, I will give the game 3 stars for the conversion problems.
