Continuing the trend started in Barbarian Invasion, Alexander will have to contend with plenty of unsettled rebel armies as well. Far to the east you'll discover the Indians and a variety of barbarians but they're really marginal powers that don't factor too heavily into the overall scheme of things. The two heavy hitters are Alexander's Macedonians and Darius's Persians. Given the limited nature of the campaign, there are only four new civilizations here. Where previous expansions have allowed players to take charge of one of a number of empires during a crucial moment of conflict, this expansion is strictly limited to Alexander's campaign against the Persians. While Alexander's fierce advance was every bit as impressive as those of the Mongols, Vikings and Germanic barbarians, it's less the story of an inevitable clash between two warring people as it is the story of the ambitions and achievements of Alexander himself. It doesn't have the word "Invasion" anywhere in the title. Still, for only fifteen bucks, it's hard to go wrong.Īt first, we weren't even sure this was a Total War expansion. We've just spent the entire weekend playing through the new expansion and, while it's always good to get more Total War action, we were left wishing this latest offering had been a little more filled out. When we heard that the gang at Creative Assembly were working on a second expansion for the game, focusing on the career of Alexander the Great, we were understandably excited. Neither has the massive Barbarian Invasion expansion pack. Reformats aside, Rome: Total War hasn't left our hard drives since the day it was released.
