Games in the Total War series are split into two parts: a Civilization-esque giant “board game” where players and the AI take turns to do various things like improving cities and states, and a more traditional real-time strategy view where the game’s gigantic battles take place.
The newest game in the Total War series takes the action back to the same setting as the third game of the series—ancient Rome. The original Total War: Rome was when many considered the series to have come into its own, despite previous games in the series also receiving critical acclaim.
Staring contests were often the way to settle disputes in ancient Rome

Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
