So - First of all, it can be said that CA has made a significant step towards the future with "Total War: Rome II". The game was a blast in the Total War franchise at launch. Certainly with a lot of bugs, but almost all of them have been fixed to this day. The game is still graphically on a good level today. In terms of play, it is better implemented than "Total War: Attila" and offers significantly more than the game published two years later. As you can see, I've invested thousands of hours in this game - but not without reason. It's one of those games, in my opinion, that will keep some hooked for years. The money I spent back then was definitely worth it. In 2021, with some mods, it's still a worthwhile game. Unfortunately no 3rd part will be visible in the foreseeable future, but the 2nd part should still offer a lot of innovations. Best regards
