ROME: Total War

ROME: Total War places you in command of an ancient power, with 19 playable factions offering different ways to reshape the course of history. You develop an empire through a turn-based campaign, balancing economic, civil, and religious affairs from the Campaign Map while directing armies and deciding where to expand.

When armies meet, the game shifts into massive real-time 3D battles. You position and maneuver troops, outwit opposing forces, and lead clashes whose results influence the wider campaign. The core loop alternates between strategic administration and tactical battlefield command, linking decisions at the empire level with events on the field. Intuitive touch controls support direct troop orders, while compatible mouse and keyboard controls provide another way to manage battles and campaigns.
