May be old but still a great game!

a classic that works great to this day of course has some issues with path finding. and the graphics have aged but it is what total war should be fun and challeging. ca need to get back to what made them great not half ass games like pharoh among others of relases which have been utter ♥♥♥♥. buy this game its fun and better than any of there newer games. honesly has not been a good total war game since shogun 2

As far as I am concerned this game is the apex of the Total War series. A truly remarkable experience offering almost unlimited replayability. The game is far from perfect. The unit movement pathing is atrocious and the graphics don't hold up great to modern games, but this game gets almost everything else right. An immersive and challenging campaign, spontaneous events that shape the story, and meticulous management (or automanagement for those not looking to manage every single settlement). Units that evolve and change based on terrain and weather, massive battles and character traits that effect a general's usefulness. This game is a must have for anyone interested in strategy games.
