A really excellent and deep strategy game that offers absurd hours, even before you use mods to completely change and twist the campaign. With breath-taking historical accuracy it creates a world ripe for you to wage war or swift diplomacy with.
For old Total War fans this is the difinitive version of the franchise, with the only critique I can level at the game is that there are plenty of features hidden away or harder to use. While the game can sometimes struggle under the weight of it's immense systems, it is impressive that such a sheer amount of features exist in the first place!
Overall a triumph for RTS genre and a gift that keeps on giving!
