Rome Total War

[Kosmo]

It's a great game and I like it, but I did not liked Tomb Rider, it's a matter of taste afterall.

Anybody knows a modification that would allow to play more factions in the same time?

Heres some links to my favourites:

 

EUROPA BARBARORUM:

http://www.europabarbarorum.com/ Outstanding realism mod, and they just released an update too.

 

LORD OF THE RINGS TOTAL WAR:

http://www.lotrtw.com/ Excellent. Based on the film trilogy, is only a 1.2 custom battle version at the minute but full 1.5/6 campaign version out soon! It WILL be quite incredible.

 

IBERIA TW:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=62 Great mod based around the Punic wars and the wars for the Iberian peninsula. New version is out really soon, so I'd advise waiting for this rather than dling the old one, it has some balancing issues that will be fixed with the new one.

 

And their are loads more.

Historically though, what gave the Romans power over the Greeks and Macedonians was the ingenius ability to out-flank the phalanxs and drive up their rear. At the same time the Romans would make a strong front by either bringing up a tortoise formation with the infantry, or force the the other army to charge them. That was another famous tactics of the Romans. Inflict losses by screening with arrows, which forces the enemy to either charge or break. If they break, they run away right into the awaiting cavalry. Cavalry packed tight together is very devastating. The Romans learned a lot of these tactics from Hannibal. His flanking manuveurs at Cannae were awesome. Think about. Because he flanked so well, and forced the Romans to come to him, he with a force of less than 37,000 wiped out an army of over 90,000. This is also the battle where he invented the modern-day term "Hamstringing". Some many Romans=Not enough time to spend fight hand to hand. The cavalry rode up behind and hamstrung everyone. Only around 1000 survivors were sent back to Rome in the ultimate shame.
