Even after almost a year and a half has past, Rome: Total War still remains one of the best strategy games I've played. The combination of both the RTS and turn based aspects of the game, where either gameplay style could stand on its own is still remarkable. If you're buying the Gold Edition, I'm assuming you haven't paid Rome: Total War yet and you're in for a treat. The difference with the Gold Edition however is the inclusion of the Barbarian Invasion expansion pack and of course the latest patches. This review however will focus on the expansion pack as the same gameplay elements are almost identical to Rome: Total War (link above).

Although there may only be tweaks to the gameplay in Barbarian Invasion, the entire dynamic of the empire has changed. Set during the downfall of the Roman Empire, Rome is now fighting for its existence as a number of 'barbarian tribes'? are starting to pick at the once great and stable empire. As you might expect, there are ten new playable factions with unique units reflecting the historical strength of these tribes (Huns are expect horseman). In many cases completely new strategies have to be created as ones that were effective previously are almost useless.

Other new additions include night battles. Not only is watching flaming arrows shoot through the air at night add a different dimension to the battles, but it also fits with at least my vision of barbarians waiting till it gets dark then ransacking cites. Speaking of sacking cites, that can also be done now if you choose in addition to religion playing a strong role now and also the fact the some factions can survive without a settlement in place, allowing them to pop up where you least expect them to.

Honestly, at $40 you can't go wrong here. This is one game that will spend a long time on your hard drive. Don't let its age scare you. Even newer games like Empire at War haven't been able to capture the balance and gameplay quality Rome: Total War has.

The player controls an empire with the goal of conquering as much territory as possible and eliminating rival factions, which are controlled by the computer,. The main campaign is split between two gameplay modes: a strategy map for moving whole armies and managing the empire, and a battle map for fighting battles on the ground between two or more armies.

The two game modes are linked, with success or failure in one game mode influencing the chances of success or failure in the other.Although set in a similar historical period and geographical area to the unmodified game (covering a timespan of 272 BC to 14 AD, compared to the original game's 270 BC to 14 AD), Europa Barbarorum is a modification as it replaces all the aspects of the original Rome: Total War game that can be replaced, such as unit models, statistics and the musical score.

Magazine ranks Europa Barbarorum as the best mod for any of the seven games released for the PC at that time. Contents.Gameplay In the original Rome: Total War, the player took control of an empire, or 'faction', of, or the, with the aim of expanding their faction's territory and eliminating rival empires through.

Europa Barbarorum retains this basic gameplay mechanic and sets itself in a similar time period and geographical area to the original game. However, as a the mod replaces the particular factions, buildings, and other elements present in the original game, and adds a new soundtrack and several brand-new gameplay mechanics not present in the original, such as the installation of. The modification's development team's stated aim in making the changes that they have to Rome: Total War is to make the player's experience of the ancient world more historically accurate. For this reason, numerous parameters of the game at the start of the campaign in 272 BC, such as generals' names, the diplomatic relations between factions, and the that each faction has, have been set to correspond to the actual political situation in that year.Also for reasons of historical, factions, provinces on the campaign map and factions' members have been given vernacular names in Europa Barbarorum, rather than having Latinised or Anglicised ones, as in Rome: Total War. So, for instance, the original game's faction is known as in Europa Barbarorum, and as the. Instead of having to play one's first campaign as a Roman faction and only subsequently unlock playable campaigns as non-Romans by defeating them in the Roman campaign, all twenty of Europa Barbarorum 's playable factions can be accessed by the player from the start.

Furthermore, the one unplayable and three playable Roman factions of the original have been combined into a single playable faction in Europa Barbarorum, the. Dissatisfied with the homogeneity of the factions of the original Rome: Total War, the Europa Barbarorum development team have sought to differentiate the playing experiences of the game's different factions.

So, for example, Rome: Total War 's trait-acquisition system, where the player's faction's family members acquire certain characteristics and talents which make them more or less adept at certain tasks such as city management or military leadership, has been made more faction-specific in Europa Barbarorum, with Hellenic characters' traits, for instance, being based on and teachings on the, and Romans' traits being partially based on the moral tales of. There are sometimes additional requirements for a family member to be able to gain a new trait: in order for them to compete in one of the, for instance, the player must ensure that they are stationed in the appropriate city on the campaign map in the year that the competition is scheduled to take place. One reviewer has commented that Europa Barbarorum 's expansions upon the original Rome: Total War 's trait system have served to add a element to the game. Campaign. The Europa Barbarorum world map, correct for version 1.1As in the original Rome: Total War, Europa Barbarorum 's strategic campaign sees the player take control of a particular faction and then compete for territory and resources against all the other factions, which are controlled by the game's.

The player is presented with a map of Europe, North Africa and the Near East in which territory is divided into 200 provinces, each of which contains a province, which will at any given point be controlled either by the player's faction, a rival playable faction, or the non-playable Eleutheroi faction, which represents the world's minor kingdoms, regional powers and rebel states. If a faction should at any point find itself not in control of any provinces, it is eliminated from the game. Gameplay is, each turn representing the passage of three months on the campaign map (unlike the six months of the original Rome: Total War) and alternating between the player managing their empire and the artificial intelligence making all the other factions' moves.

A key game mechanic of the campaign map is the annexation of territory, which is done province-by-province, either by successfully the province capital, or by acquiring it from another faction through. Once a faction has acquired a province, they may construct buildings in the province capital that either enable the recruitment of certain military units or grant various bonuses to the city, such as greater resilience during a siege or a decreased likelihood of the province rebelling. Provided the city contains the appropriate buildings, the player may recruit military units in the city at the same time as undertaking construction projects. The aim of the game is to acquire a specified number of provinces and/or eliminate specified rival factions (in Europa Barbarorum particular victory conditions differ for each faction), whilst avoiding being eliminated by the other factions.The campaign map itself of Europa Barbarorum covers a wider geographical area than that of Rome: Total War, expanding into areas such as the,. Relief, province boundaries, snow boundaries, vegetation types, coastlines and areas prone to natural disaster in 272 BC have all been researched and implemented into the campaign map. The linking the and has been added to the map, as have the great trade routes of the ancient world, such as the and, which can be captured and exploited by the player or by the artificial intelligence.The selection of factions present in the original Rome: Total War has been overhauled in Europa Barbarorum.

The original game's faction has been replaced with two new factions, the and the. The faction has been replaced by the, and the faction (which included various city-states) has been replaced by the Koinon Hellenon (: League of the Greeks), a faction which represents the of,. Entirely new factions include, a empire, and, a western Greek faction famous for producing. On the other hand, the faction of Rome: Total War was removed entirely.

A diagram of the possible development of the governments of nomadic factions in Europa BarbarorumThe way in which factions enhance the provinces they own through the construction of new buildings in their province capitals has changed in Europa Barbarorum. The process of assimilating a newly conquered province into one's empire has become more differentiated in the modification than it was in the original game through the introduction of so-called 'government buildings'. Government buildings represent different degrees of central State intervention in a province, and range from a homeland government, which can only be built in a faction's traditional ethnic homeland and represents the highest possible degree of central State control, to an allied state government, which makes the province in question semi-autonomous and installs a puppet ruler to govern it on the controlling faction's behalf.

Screenshots of battles from Rome: Total War (top) and Europa Barbarorum (bottom)If, during their turn on the campaign map, the player should engage one of their armies in combat with another faction's army, or if their troops should be engaged by another faction during the AI's turn, the player then has the option of fighting a. In this gameplay mode, the player directs the troops they had brought with them on the campaign map to the engagement, ordering them to manoeuvre and attack the enemy's troops on a three-dimensional battlefield. Troops can either be killed outright on the battlefield or made to rout and flee the field if their morale falls below a certain threshold. Reviewers have noted of Rome: Total War that, during a battle, troop numbers do not outweigh all other considerations; other factors such as individual unit types' strengths and soldiers' morale and fatigue at the point of fighting are also taken into account.

A battle is won when one side kills or routs the entire enemy army; a siege may be won by the attacking side through either dispatching the opposing forces or gaining control of the besieged city's central plaza for a certain number of minutes, and by the defending side either by killing the attackers or by destroying their siege equipment before they have managed to breach the city's defences.The make-up of the game's units is one of the areas in which the most change can be seen going from the original game to the mod. Reviewers have commented that the differences between Europa Barbarorum and its parent game are 'immediate' and 'striking' and that the modification is different from its parent game 'in look and in play'. Another reviewer described the mod as having a more 'gritty, realistic look' than the original Rome: Total War. All the units that were present in the original game have been removed and replaced in Europa Barbarorum.

Specific examples include the removal of several units that the Europa Barbarorum team considered to be historically doubtful or only marginally used in warfare, such as, and Celtic from the original Rome: Total War. Nor was the modding team happy with the way more conventional forces were portrayed in the original game, for instance calling Rome: Total War 's Egyptian soldiers ' Egyptians' and hence creating a new unit roster for the Egyptian faction in the game (named in the original Rome: Total War and the in Europa Barbarorum), in order to better correspond with the Ptolemaic period of history. The mod also features new custom in order to encourage more realistic behaviour from the AI. Audio Europa Barbarorum features its own soundtrack, distinct from that of Rome: Total War.

Some of its tracks were especially by Morgan Casey and Nick Wylie; others are examples of, the Celtic factions' tracks, for example, having been recorded by Prehistoric Music Ireland. Europa Barbarorum also includes its own 'voicemod', an attempt by the developers to replace the English cries of Rome: Total War 's soldiers with ones in their native languages, which include,. Development The Europa Barbarorum project began in January 2004, eight months before Rome: Total War 's release, when the Europa Barbarorum development team who were following the game's development became concerned that its ' factions such as the were being portrayed inaccurately. The Europa Barbarorum team felt that such factions' representations in Rome: Total War conformed more to a stereotype than to historical fact, and wished to see a more realistic portrayal of such factions in the game.

The modding team tried to convince the (CA), the of Rome: Total War, to alter their depiction of the period in line with the team's research, but the developers failed to take them up on their offer. Having exhausted this avenue for change, the Europa Barbarorum members then resolved to modify the game themselves upon its release. Release Europa Barbarorum was first released to the public as an open in December 2005. After several more minor releases throughout 2006, which mostly fixed and made small adjustments to the modification, the next major release of Europa Barbarorum was version 0.80 in December 2006. Its changes included the addition of the faction, new music, and the inclusion of a new system. There were three more 0.8-series releases during the first half of 2007, which primarily made minor adjustments to the modification and fixed bugs. In total, over 135,000 downloads of the 0.80–0.81 versions were tracked.The next major release was version 1.0, which was released in October 2007 and included new units, new government options for the and factions, the addition of a new type of wall to the battle map and new music from group Prehistoric Music Ireland.

The 1.0 version was downloaded over 90,000 times in the six months following its release. This was followed by version 1.1, which was released in April 2008 and included new battle map landscapes, new units, the addition of the voicemod and the inclusion of an introduction video for the faction. The current release is version 1.2, which contains the addition of the voicemod and bug fixes; the development team had previously stated that future releases of Europa Barbarorum for the Rome: Total War engine will not include any major gameplay changes.Europa Barbarorum has seen some significant changes to its campaign over the course of its development. The faction, included in early releases of the modification, was subsequently dropped. Earlier releases of Europa Barbarorum also featured player alerts representing the major stages of the breakup of the faction, if that collapse occurred in the game. However, such features became impossible to implement after the faction of the original game, used in Europa Barbarorum for purposes, was removed from the mod in exchange for the kingdom of.Following the main modification's release, a number of customisations of Europa Barbarorum have been created, such as it to run using the, or 's version of Rome: Total War.

The 2008 review was overwhelmingly positive, saying that ' EB feels like a whole new Total War game', and going on to praise the modification's 'stunning' scope and the 'striking' extent of the differences between it and Rome: Total War.

The 2005 review reported that the modification, whose development team included two, was to replace the 'economic system, soldiers' equipment and the provinces' of Rome: Total War; the latter review praised the mod for having 'altered and deepened' the gameplay of the original title, and wrote that Europa Barbarorum was the best substitute for a Rome 2: Total War game prior to the actual release of such a title.

The German magazine wrote in April 2007 that the Europa Barbarorum team had 'banned all historical mistakes from the game'; in January 2011, another German publication, also noted the mod's historical accuracy, singling out its 'more realistic, more challenging' battles for praise, although it did note that the mod was squarely aimed at experienced Rome: Total War players.
