That said, if you are hungry for Total War and a return to reality seems like a good idea, there are plenty of positives, not least that some of the upgrades will be applied to existing copies of Rome II even if you don't buy the expansion:
But, for now, I think I'll follow Fraser's advice and kill some elves. I'm more interested in the British standalone saga that's in the works than I am in another return to Rome, and I'm keen to see where Creative Assembly cast their historical eye next. I haven't even caught up with Warhammer II yet and even though I prefer history to fantasy in my strategy games, I'm much more likely to go and play with the ratpack than the Romans and their many enemies. But it also highlights one of the issues of a post-Warhammer world namely, that loads of people with various pointy or clubby things don't quite match up to dragons, dinosaurs and man-eating trolls. It's out now, gives the game a brand new grand campaign and loads of other gubbins, and might scratch that historic itch.
