Of all of CA's Total War games which one is the best. For me its Rome: Total War. It does have its flaws but I think overall it still stands as the best Total War game, also it has the best expansions
Its a hard choice between Rome: Total War and Empire: Total War. Almost as hard as choosing between Half-life 1 and Half-life 2. I think I'll go with the former as it was a game-changer for the industry when it came out.
