These are some of the largest and most intricate mods that have probably ever been created, and there is a metric ass-ton of them.
Perhaps the biggest reason to play Rome is the wealth of mods that have been worked on, and are still being developed, nearly 8 years later. It also has an elegant simplicity-units are responsive, charges and combat just feels ‘right’ in a way that, to me, was lacking in Medieval and Empire’s melee combat.
Lumbering Greek Phalanxes, Roman Legions, Axe-wielding Northern Barbarians, Hunnish Horse Archers, Successor Armies, Spanish Hill Tribes-Rome forces you to constantly change your tactics and deal with new threats as you battle new factions. Rome is a lot of people’s favorite TW game, and despite all the graphical and gameplay improvements that have gone on in the series since, the reasons are simple It has a diversity unmatched in Medieval, Empire, or Shogun.
