Tuesday Screenshot – Rome 2 Total War

The Tuesday Screenshot is goes back in time to Ancient Rome

Playing as a barbarian tribe, there is little better in Rome 2: Total War than taking the capital of the known world. About 200 turns in (with some seasonal and turns-per-year mods running) I almost feel like I can call the campaign a victory by taking Rome. But Sparta and Athens remain...as well as some consolidation in Gaul. A city-burning marauder's work is never done!
