Like Europa Barbarorum Rome: Total Realism was driven by the desire for a more authentic and historically accurate version of Rome. Letting you decide who unite Persia and create one of the most formidable powers in the ancient world. A new campaign map sets the scene, while all new factions and units populate it. Set in 559 BC, it depicts the power struggle over the fall of the Assyrian empire. Rise of Persia relocates Rome’s struggles to the middle east. Go forth and claim blood for the blood god. It remodels the campaign map and factions to resemble the Warhammer Fantasy universe, offering you the chance to play with Games Workshop’s particular spin on Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and Men and the ever spiky forces of chaos. Warhammer: Total War is the mod for those of us who spent far too many of our teenage years painting in-ordinate numbers of little plastic models.
Roma Surrectum’s major selling point is it’s 28 unique legions, each of which has its own appearance and standard, and can only be recruited in the correct area. This mod starts the game during the Second Punic War (Rome 2 appears to involve the third) with Hannibal in Italy, threatening Rome itself. If you’re looking to plunge back into Rome in anticipation of the sequel then Roma Surrectum is highly recommended. If you’re more interested in that period, check out Medieval 2’s Third Age mod. It offers a very different depiction of Middle Earth from the Third Age setting we’re all familiar with from Lord of the Rings. Factions include Gondor and Arnor, Adûnabâr, Rohan, Harad, Rhûn, Dunland, Dale, Elves and Dwarves. The Fourth Age is set after the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring. Extended Greek mod gives you five competing Hellenic factions along with new units, character traits, buildings and more, bringing the Greeks up to par with the the original game’s Romans in complexity.Įvery version of Total War gets a Tolkien mod, and Rome is no different. Rome is reduced to a single faction and some rebels while the Greeks take centre stage. They got multiple factions with competing motivations, while everyone else just got one. Rome was, understandably, focused on the Romans. If you demand absolute realism from your Total War games, you’ll want this.
The remake doesn’t just apply to the Barbarian hordes, either: factions all over the ancient world have been altered and adjusted in the name of accuracy. Europa’s barbarians aren’t hordes of savages, they’re organised and disciplined. It was founded by a group of history buffs who felt that Rome’s depiction of the ‘Barbarian’ nations was out of step with historical reality. Europa Barbarorum is the best mod for those seeking absolute historical accuracy.
