Rome: Total War - E3-2004 Trailer

Released in 2004, this Main Game blends turn-based grand strategy with real-time tactical battles set during the late Roman Republic and early Empire. You manage provinces, research, and diplomacy on a campaign map, then command thousands of troops in massive, real-time engagements when armies clash. The core loop involves conquering fifty provinces to become Emperor, with eight non-Roman factions also playable. Its distinctive feature is the seamless shift between macro-empire management and micro-battle control, available across PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.
