Over a year after it was first announced (and one of the most populated and colorful gaming forum discussions we’ve had at Appletell), Feral Interactive now invites Mac gamers to take command of history’s greatest battles as they release Rome: Total War Gold Edition on February 5th. Originally developed by The Creative Assembly and published by SEGA, the game will be released for the Mac under the Feral Legends label.
Rome: Total War is one of the all-time top-rated strategy games where players take charge of one of three Roman families with the goal of increasing their family’s power in Rome through diplomacy, economic skill, and of course, war. Running from the late Roman Republic to early Roman Empire, Rome: Total War offers a seamless integration of strategy and tactics that allows players to fight epic historical or fictitious battles, while plotting their path to ultimate victory.
The Gold Edition includes the official expansion pack, Barbarian Invasion, in which players must decide whether they will save Rome from its enemies or, at the head of a Barbarian horde, fight to bring the once mighty empire to its knees.
“The Total War series is one of the most-requested additions to Mac gaming,” said Feral Interactive’s David Stephen. “It’s a game that is superbly suited to the platform and one that will be available to all Mac owners including those with Intel MacBooks and Mac minis.”
Minimum system requirements call for a 1.6GHz Intel Mac with 512MB RAM, 128MB graphics card, DVD drive, 5 GB of hard disk space and Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later including Mac OS X v10.6. The game supports Macs with Intel GMA processors. The game will retail in North America for US $29.95, £19.95 (inc VAT) in the UK and €24.95 (inc VAT) throughout Europe.
