5 years later and this game (along with all of it's DLC/Expansions) is still entertaining me to this day. With Rome 2 and Attila being big disappointments for me and Warhammer being just okay, this game has remained, in my opinion, the best game in the Total War series.

Pros:

+Amazing Graphics
+Deep and Tactical Gameplay
+Cool (but now kinda dead) Multiplayer Campaign
+Interesting Historical Missions
+Well Done Micro-management

Cons

-Inconsistent AI
-Lackluster Diplomacy System

Final Score: 9/10
