Rome: Total War is a real-time strategy computer game where player fights to create Roman Empire. The game was developed by Creative Assembly and released on September 22nd 2004. A demo of the game, which features battle of the Trebia, was released on August 23, 2004 and is freely available for downloading.
The game features large scale battles of ancient armies with tens of thousands warriors. The main innovation is the first ever high-quality 3D graphic engine that allows to reproduce large scale battles realistically. Another prominent feature is the integration of the strategic and tactical views - the landscape for the battles is the same as seen on that particular spot on the strategic map where the armies meet.
The gameplay is similar to that of its predecessors, Shogun: Total War and Medieval: Total War, although there are some additions like sieges and greatly improved city fights.
Thanks to the realism of both the simulation and the graphics, the game was already used in two series of TV programs: Decisive Battles by the History Channel where it was used to recreate famous historical battles, and Time Commanders by BBC TWO where teams of novice nongamers commanded ancient armies to replay key battles of antiquity.
