ROME: Total War

App Store Editors’ Notes

Far better than it had a right to be

Game is exactly what any mobile port should be, retains the legacy of the original but expands it as well. You even kept the cheats in, something a lot of ports ignore completely. I do have a couple issues though. There’s a massive bug for me where the AI will start to go up a siege tower... and get stuck. This also happens to me, but I usually can order my men out of it. With the AI however, because I don’t have a time limit I literally cannot win the battle because the AI is stuck. I’ve noticed this as my campaign progresses, whereas earlier in the campaign this isn’t an issue. I’m not sure if it’s because I beat the campaign and am trying to finish off the Scipii and Brutii scum, but it obviously becomes a problem when you had a drug out 30 minute battle, heavy casualties, and a bloody fight going on, only to realise at the very end the enemy has a unit stuck inside. And I can’t even order my men to attack them, causing understandably, extreme frustration. Despite this major issue though, Inwould strongly recommend this game. Though a word of advice: PLAY THE TUTORIAL! The controls are (mostly) extremely responsive and well done, but they’re very complex for a mobile game, they’re not something you accidentally discover. Though this game does have that too, if you want their advertised cinematic camera on you’re iPhone (that I’m not sure if it’s bugged for me but isn’t on the iPad sadly) press and hold your fingers down on opposite ends of the screen, do it again to deactivate it.

Huge Fan

I love the total war games on PC, so I thought I’d try this out. I love it. It’s amazing. There are a lot of factions you can play as, you can build forts and watchtowers to see over the land and stage raids and sieges. This game overall is amazing. There are a few things I’d like the developers to add, which include fixing units in towns and cities, or when they are on walls, it can be a little glitchy sometimes, but otherwise huge wall settlements are my favorite sieges to do, also sea battles and naval landings would be awesome to have in the game so you can do something like a Carthage beach landing and have an attack from land and sea, artillery ships attacking the walls so the naval troops can get through. I love being able to play one of my favorite PC games on my phone, and the great thing is, doesn’t need WiFi. I can play it up in the woods. It also has easy to reach cheat codes. Press the top corners of the screen and hold it and you get the Rome Shell or something like that. Players can use that to do the campaign quickly and see how strong you can get. I’ve only used the showmethemoney cheat and the process_cq all and process_rq all which, in order, is gives you I think a million denarii, instantly complete construction queue and last but not least finish the recruiting queue. 10/10 recommend to players who like rts style games.

please read I have a few suggestions

I just can’t get off of this game. I think it is the bomb. I love this game and it’s great strategy and factions. I wish you could tell your archers to put a stake in the ground in front of themselves. I wish the cavalry could dismount. I wish I could get a diplomat to say anything. I wish you could play the rebel faction and Rome . I wish Rome would fight and conquer territory.I wish you could trade troops with other countries. I wish that after a while a fort became a town. I wish you could play with other people, it would make your game a lot better. Over all I love this game and would recommend it to anyone who wants it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!⚔️😃SEE YOU ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also wish you could play a sea battle ; you could completely destroy a town ; there would be Vikings who would come take a town , pillage, and leave ; and if you went through a mountain some would die from the cold, and falling ; I wish you could have your own person killed by a assassin; and a storm would sink ships; and you could attack at night;1 forced march and last the red line would vanish after all units are in rout .

2 questions/ complaint now

A.) I know I’ve asked before but do you have a a estimate for when we could expect mod support. And B.) so you have any plans bringing the total war warhammer 1 or 2, I would honestly buy it as quickly as possible and I’d be sucked into that 10 times more than total warm Rome EDIT: also could we/the players get a answer about the total war medieval games, or shogun, or any of the other total war games EDIT: hi, so I I’m quite annoyed right now, out of all my games I play this the most still and I am about to transfer because of the absolute mound of crashes, EVERY battle I do, campaign or custom, crashes, I liked a lot of big battles, I finally did a 1v1 on larger unit scale(eagle legionary cohort vs urban cohort) and it crashed, I know sometimes if you do something like that in some games it’ll crash so I changed it up thinking it’ll help, 11 more crashes.... finally I let it rest, tweaked with setting, and bam, got a themed custom battle ready, hit deploy troops and it crashed... before it would at least start battle, not just crash immediately, I love the game to bits don’t get me wrong, hours upon hours of gameplay, and I even sucked my dad into it some(he doesn’t play games at all) and then this happens, in a small battle with at most 106 entities and it crashes, thank you for reading this and if any player has a problem like this I’m sorry but it is still a good game

Bugs ruin the game for me

Let me start off by saying this is my favorite game except for maybe Rome II. I’ve spent countless hours campaigning as all the Roman factions, some Greek factions, Carthage, and I’m sure I’ll try the barbarian factions too. But recently, I embarked on a Julii campaign, and it was going really well. Gaul was a memory, the Spanish were nothing but a few forts, and the Britons were soon to be next. But suddenly, the Scipii got outlawed, the Brutii got outlawed, and I was told by the senate to attack them. The only problem was that I couldn’t. When I attacked, they told me I didn’t have popular support to do so, even when it was the senate telling me to do so. Then it got worse. The Brutii began sieging my cities, and still I couldn’t attack back due to me not having popular support. I couldn’t even sally out because the people of Rome apparently didn’t like me enough. Not just that, but it still showed the Brutii as my allies, even when they had already taken three cities from me. When I put an army near my besieged city as reinforcements, the Brutii army just waited until they got starved out. I could do nothing. I even became allies with the Scipii again and together we took down the senate. I literally captured Rome and still, the Brutii continued to take my cities while I watched helplessly. I can deal with the bugs that come in battle like the faulty siege towers or units becoming stuck fighting air, but when I worked so hard in undoubtedly the most difficult Roman campaign, only for my gains to be reversed due to a bug, that’s where I draw the line. I even looked online and the only answers I saw were people telling me to just quit the campaign. This is so frustrating because I really enjoy this game, but it won’t let me win. If this didn’t happen, I’d be 5 stars all the way. Please do something about this.

Wow and wow again

I’m blown away by this game on the iPad. A simple summary is that it is a far richer and deeper version of the old Civilization series that I loved. But it’s more than that. You can get going quickly, but there is an intriguing learning curve of features and tactics you need to play well. There is also a delightful tone and sense of humor. You may wish, like me at first, to be a humane general, but it makes far more sense at times to massacre most of the inhabitants of large cities you capture, because the unruly population will be too difficult to manage otherwise. Then there is the Roman senate, which will reward you for success for a long while, until you become too successful, at which point the senators will betray you. And did I mention the pleasure of using cavalry to chase down enemy soldiers as they try to flee to safety when a battle is going badly for them? Nothing woke here. I spent way more enjoyable hours on the game than I expected. The price is a bargain for the quality. Thanks so much.

Giving only two stars until there is another patch.

This game is truly amazing to play on mobile. Sometimes i enjoy it more then the pc version. The reason i am giving it 2 stars is because the DEVS. Its been over a year and still no patch or update to fix all the bugs? The troops are still have a hard time using the siege towers. The AI factions do pretty much the same thing every time you play it gets a bit old. Basically Rome and Egypt take over everything in their way. And even tho the selucids have an awesome roster they always seem to get steam rolled by everyone around them. Also im noticing new bugs now. Now when i am invading a city and i order my units to enter a gaurd tower so they can take it over they end up lining up infront of the door outside the tower and they keep taking arrows until the unit is wipes out. Its stupid. If you wont take the time to fix these bugs and at least care for the mobile gamers in your business then you guys deserve a one star. The only reason i give it two stars is because the game is really fun. But the fact you guys dont care AT ALL about this mobile total war you guys are going to lose many players and fans and im going to make sure the entire community understands this if it is not addressed.

Almost perfect

This game is honestly the best not in graphic compared to other but gameplay wise. The one thing is that how come there 50 region and u can only play as 13-15 region that not even half Macedonia I defeated and yet still couldn’t play as them Also the Greek kinda seem Under powered because in my understand the Greek were very intelligent but they can understand that they can’t just Pikeman all of the time yes they have archers/skirmishes and cavalry but that doesn’t really make up for there one weakness I know this game is very old now but I wish you could FRIKEN FIX THE SIEGE TOWERS TOO and also add new unit like historical units. Side note: Why tf did u add ship engagement if u can’t actually see them what’s the point u can’t retreat if you get attack so what the fricken point ik this is a little thing but it bugs me for some reason Question:Will You add Rome 2 because for me the selection in Rome 1 is not really great such as the Greeks with practically only pike man and is starting to get boring after a few month
