Rome Total War: Barbarian invasion demo released

According to the RTR staff, 7.0 will be made for RTW:BI. Hope so.

that demo wasn't much of a promotion for the game, they should have made mor eof an effort and included more features. 

Starting date is 364 I think. So that's plenty of time before Stilicho (he was more like 400 AD).

It actually is $ 30.00, BTW.

Expantion packs are usually 30 at the most.

Originally posted by Emperor Barbarossa Sassanids, cool. I might just get the game to get the Rome Total Realism mod. I will probably wait a year or so when it gets to be really cheap.

The realism mod is pretty awesome.

And it takes popular games forever to go down in price. This game is worth 50 dollars for one thing.  The way I justify spending that much money on a game is I consider it a way of voting for the type game I like. If you want to see more of this type of game you should spend the extra 10 or 15 bucks on it.

Just to add, as one of the new playable faction in the Barbarian Invasion expansion are the Sassanids. Finally, some real heavy hitting Persians in as stratgey game.

 

I think phalanx mode is abolished. What could the shield wall mode do?

Lol, I did find the apreviation a little... different.  But I liked the Romans, but I like them even more as Chatholic far right wingers

The demo was nice, although I had some major glitches with it.  Such as trees being in the sky.  Or all of my units routing after I chose to continue killing off enemies.  Odd...

 That ballista carrier was insane, I killed 10% of the enemy with it.

 The AI was abit suspect but its a demo so I suppose isnt accurate for the whole thing (I hope).
