This means new assets, 4K resolution (which looks surprisingly good), new 3D models and units, support for modern monitors, and improved maps and battle environments. I would like to stress that the updates are mostly visual updates. And then to build on that, for a little more fun, a new agent type, the merchant, has been added, and they got their own summary/hub system.
Perhaps that is a bit over the top, as there naturally are little difference between almost identical factions. Now, actual cross platform multiplayer is possible (in fairness it was Windows only originally), and 16 new factions have been added, making it possible to play with 38 different factions.

And, if you are a Linux or Mac user, you now also get a chance to try it, as only Windows users mattered back in 2004.īut, despite this being a remaster and not a remake, there are still a few changes that have been implemented, mostly in relation to overview and camera controls, this is especially handy in the battles, but also a mini-map has been introduced, which is really, really helpful. Oh, and its half price for the first month on Steam if you already own the original game.
#Rome total war remastered review mod
There is full mod support, and even if you don't have the two expansions, Barbarian Invasion and Alexander, that doesn't matter, you still get it for free. However, the diplomacy interface has been improved and updated as well.Ĭreative Assembly has always been generous to their fans and community, and this Remaster is no exception. Some features, like swapping settlements with your allies don't even exist in all modern strategy games, and the complexity of diplomacy, trade and even the process of how armies are raised are actually more advanced than the current games. What a lot of people forget, is that almost 17 years ago, the Total War of today existed.
