Volound | The 'Rome Total War' LEAKS @Volound | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 10 hours ago
Some insight into how one of the greatest games of all time, not just of Total War, came together. Some information from sources together with the fabled Rome Total War Game Design Document circa 2002.

NOTE: I worded the "motion captured" part a bit weird. What I meant to describe was that they used 3ds Max to pretend they had done motion capture work that would end up in the actual game with mouth movements etc., but the actual game ended up not having any of this stuff. So you saw soldiers doing weird animations in the trailer and none of it ended up being in the game because they faked it for the marketing with 3ds Max and then never followed through with doing the actual real work with proper motion capture for the actual game. Just clarifying in case anyone got confused by me making connections without stating them explicitly. I listened to this part again later and noticed this could have been confusing.
