I'm sure those of us across the pond from Britain are of the like mind. I, for one, am.

Seconded. Roman Rule is preferable to... this. Besides, I get an excuse to wear a tunic. :woot:

I believe one lesson to be learned from this article is that Creative Assembly is also creative in their marketing of Total War Rome II. They also have a sense of humour.

Ho hum...I hear the wheels of a band wagon churning away.
Interesting that they did not mention the economy anywhere - based on slavery. Although I would not mind the Roman levels of investment in the Army; and the roads would be in better nick too!

It's interesting to suggest how a Roman government would respond to modern political pressures, but ignoring the central roles of aggressive military control and a slavery-based economy makes the whole thing a little disingenuous. Also, when it asks if 'immigrants should embrace the local culture', it doesn't specify that this means Britons should act like Italians...

I have a feeling the Welsh would be the only ones liking them.
