Still broken & buggy over a year later and still corrupted by nickel and diming DLC, It is as addictive as any total war game but the broken AI will frustrate you to no end.
A new Emperor edition is releasing with a campaign included for free for existing owners however it does not include any other paid DLC withholding "blood & gore" from a game set in ancient Rome about huge battles and conquest....
I would not recommend this game but maybe with the new emperor edition and a few more patches it will tidy itself up however the nickel and diming DLC will never go away.
