Why did he choose Macedon over other great archaic empires and civilisations? Unlike many people, Prince_of_Macedon spent several days coming up with the right in-game name. The first question I had to ask was how he got his name. I got in touch with him to talk about our love for a 14 year-old game and why love playing it so much. Prince_of_Macedon has been creating YouTube content for Rome: Total War for over a decade, having uploaded over 2,000 multiplayer videos on Total War Games amongst other strategy titles. Why then, 14 years later, am I talking about it? Because I’m not the only one still playing.
Our family bought a copy soon after its release, and my brother and I spent our Saturday and Sunday mornings taking turns on the family computer playing it. Released in 2004, it is still widely renowned as one of the best military strategy games of all time. I’ve played the more modern releases, Empire and Napoleon: Total War, but have never felt the same thrill as playing the original with its poor graphics, inspiring pre-battle speeches and endless playability. Rome: Total War is one of my all-time favourite games. Rome: Total War – An Interview with Prince_of_Macedon
