Rome: Total War is a real-time strategy video game by the British developer Creative Assembly, belonging to the Total War video game series, published in 2004.

The game is about the principles of the increased power of Rome, in 270 a. C., and the player must direct his faction towards the domination of the empire. All the factions to choose are Roman (although if any faction is defeated, it can be chosen at the beginning of a new campaign), families that at some point influenced the history of Rome: the Brutii, the Julios and the Scipii. Each of them begins in a different place and has different objectives: the Brutes begin in southern Italy, and they must conquer Greece; the Julius in northern Italy and they must conquer some Galic enclaves and Sardinia; and the Ecipions begin with one city in central Italy and another in Sicily and they must conquer Sicily, and later, Carthage. When the family you lead becomes too powerful you can march on Rome and start a civil war.

An iPad port was released in autumn 2016, developed by Feral Interactive, an English company that would later release versions of the game for iPhone and Android in 2018.

Game system

Rome: Total War combines the strategy of shift and battle management in three dimensions and in real time. The graphic section is very attractive.

The game is located when the power of Rome grew to the end of the Roman Republic with various factions of the time. There are 2 different ways to play: Campaign and Battle.
And also historical / fast / personalized battle and of course multiplayer battle.

The campaigns consist of a map in which your main objective is to conquer everything. There are two types of campaign. The sons of Mars (tutorial) is in it, the Senate has given an army to the Roman family of the joules to conquer land for the Senate. It's basically a learning campaign. The Imperial Campaign begins in 270 BC. It covers all of Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor. At first only the Roman factions can be played (see section of Factions) but some of the factions can be unlocked by conquering the last of their enclaves. There are two types of objectives: The Short Campaign, which is to conquer 15 provinces or have at least one enclave when certain factions disappear (depending on the faction used) or the Long Campaign, which is to have 50 enclaves and conquer the city of Rome.

Rome: Total War allows players to fight in different historical scenarios. The player takes control of an army general who is outnumbered or lost, and must fight hard for victory. The Guardians help in this kind of battle.
