Changing things in the game to be more accurate and considerate towards people who were presented in the game in a way that was ignorant or even disrespectful is fine, great even, such as changing the names of the civs to what they actually call themselves, but changing core mechanics and lazily introducing them is not. The native civs can no longer tame animals, which was one of their coolest features, and the North American natives can no longer mine and are required to construct an additional building to be able to acquire coin. They have sacrificed core mechanics of the game in favor of historical accuracy despite never being a historically accurate game in the first place. I have hundreds of hours into this title, here are some comparisons from the original to the definitive edition. If you’ve ever wondered how the Romans might fare against the Aztecs, now’s your opportunity to find out.Ĭatch a glimpse of what Return of Rome has to offer in our teaser trailer:
