    1 out of 5 stars Waste of Money.......2005-05-07

    Don't waste your money on this guide, it's full of fluff, needless information, and false advertising. The back of the guide gives five bulleted statements, intended to make you want to buy Prima's offering:

    * FULLY DETAILED CAMPAIGN MAP
    * IMPERIAL CAMPAIGN TIPS AND STRATEGIES
    * BATTLEFIELD TIPS AND STRATEGIES
    * VALUABLE UNIT AND STRUCTURE STATISTICS FOR ALL FACTIONS
    * WINNING TIPS AND STRATEGIES FOR HISTORICAL BATTLES

    The first statement (despite claims to the contrary in another review) is misleading. It is obvious from the context that the statement is talking about the guide and not the game. That's what the back cover in a case like this is suppose to be, an advertisement for the information inside! Sometimes they give summary blurbs, sometimes bulleted information, but whatever the case, it is talking about the guide in your hand, not the game in your computer. But the guide most certainly does NOT have a "Fully Detailed Campaign Map". As others have pointed out, the game itself comes with a color map that measures 12 by 18 inches; and all that is in the guide is a blurry, very small, 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch map in black and white. Ironically the map on the back cover of the guide (the part you can see anyway), which is not meant to give information so much as serve as part of the advertisement, is actually a lot CLEARER than the map in the actual guide. The real kicker is that they put "Fully Detailed Campaign Map" first in the order, and in a much larger font, than the other bulleted statements. As though this were the guide's main selling point! Incredible.

    The next statement said "Imperial Campaign Tips and Strategies". As others have said, though, you will be hard-pressed to find any of this in the actual guide. Real tips and strategies would have been information like:

    "Besides a penalty for having a different culture, the further a conquered city is from your capital the more unhappy the citizens will be. Therefore, if you have a family member who has attributes which help him keep public order, place him in this type of large, foreign city."

    Instead, what we get is a lot of repeating what the manual said, with some elementary additions that most people who play strategy games would know anyway. And in a great game like Rome, you can't even give them the benefit of the doubt by saying that maybe the info is for people new to strategy games. Rome gives all the information necessary for new people to know what to do in situations like that. For example, in a case like public disorder, you can right-click on your buildings and see exactly how much they can improve the order, you can easily change the taxes and instantaneously see the difference it makes on happiness, and you can go to the city's details and find out the exact reasons for unhappiness in the city. It even tells you how much of a problem each factor is causing, like saying "Squalor: 20%; Culture Penalty: 50%; etc." Now, a REAL tip would have been to explain why, for example, having 80 soldiers can sometimes have the same effect on unrest as having 160 soldiers. Is the ability of a garrison to pacify the people based on the "tier" the city is on, the population, the types of soldiers, a mix of factors, or what?

    The third statement is: "Battlefield Tips and Strategies". This is similar to what I said about about the imperial tips, but Prima is a little better here. Some of the strategies, while simplistic, are at least good to repeat. There is also some good information here, like the explaining of the different formations, or listing all the factors that can effect troop morale, but this good content unfortunately does not go on for very long. They do have something called "Ten Tips For Victory," which gives ten short statements about good strategy. While the tips aren't anything particularly deep and are pretty basic (stategically speaking), it is at least an attempt. If only they would have put more of an effort to going outside of Instruction Guide mode more often in other areas, I might have given the guide two stars.

    The fourth bulleted statement said: "Valuable Unit and Structure Statistics For All Factions". I'll first say that I was somewhat let down that they didn't have a chart with all the unit information on it. They spend over fifty pages giving information about the units, but none of it is new. It is basically the same info that the game itself gives you by simply right-clicking on a unit. So in the end, all this information in the guide comes off as nothing more than filler. If the information had been compiled into a chart, it at least could have served the purpose of being a quick reference when comparing the strenths and weaknesses of various units. For example, you might be in the middle of a battle, and have several units with axes (which are good against armor), so you would want to know the status of the armor on various enemy units so as to determine who best to attack next; a graph could have given this information to you within seconds. But as it is, you are forced to first find the right faction (they are not really set apart very well), and then look up each unit's armor one by one.

    This fourth statement is also misleading. It does NOT have structure statistics for all factions, as it claims. In fact, it has structure statistics for only 11 of the 19 factions, with the rationale being that you can't play the other 8 factions. Well, first, this is only half true because you can conquer a foreign city and therefore will take over their buildings. So knowing the statistics of their buildings (even if you can't start a game as that faction) could still be relevant. Of course, you could just right-click on the building to get it's statistics, but then the same argument would make almost ALL the information in this book superfluous as it's almost all in the game. This is not to say that a guide has no purpose at all. One of the few things that a guide can provide is a way of comparing and contrasting different buildings, units, etc.; unfortunately Prima didn't seem to want to go that route.

    Whatever the case may be, in the end, Prima decided to exclude the structure statistics for 8 factions, so it is misleading to say that the guide contains "Valuable unit and structure statistics for all factions". They should have inserted the word "playable": they have statistics for all playable factions.

    The last bulleted statement said that the guide contained "Winning Tips and Strategies For Historical Battles," and it is only in this area that the guide rises even to an acceptable level. Unfortunately, it is too little and too late. By the time you get to this section, you have already went through 165 pages of mostly fluff, filler, and information that was in the instruction booklet that came with the game. The sad thing is that even the information that they tried to give is incomplete. They had a section on the unit statistics of barbarian mercenaries, for example, but then left out information about half the mercenary units in the game! There is no mention of Libyan Mercenaries, Samnite Mercenaries, Mercenary Hoplites, Mercenary Peltasts, Barbarian Mercenaries, or other such units.

    Rome: Total War is a very good strategy game. It will probably be the game I play most until Age of Empires 3 (and especially Civilization 4) come out later this year or early next year. But a good game does not equate to a good guide (as the other guy seemed to think, for some reason). So my conclusion is that it would be best to skip this game guide and spend your money on something else; Most of the information you need is already in the game, and the rest you can figure out on your own.

    1 out of 5 stars Total Disappointment.......2005-04-12

    This is a complete waste of time, and a way to get easy cash from the producers and distributors of this game.

    I bet with everyone that the guy who gave it 5 stars probably is one of CA (Creative Assembly) cursed staff. Just look at the way he quoted magazines "Oh wonderful graphics" "Best game ever" bla bla bla and all the crap you can wonder.

    Of course, the magazines players and testers come to fall in the eyecandy category, and when they see good graphics they categorize it like the game of the century. Total Disappointment.

    I hope you learned from this reviem.

    5 out of 5 stars A Review from a long time Total War Series player.......2005-02-28

    First of all I'd like to point out that most people who play this game and give it poor reviews do not have enough patiences or common sense required to play a game like this. For Example, as another reviewer stated,

    "The back cover of the book says "Fully Detailed Campaign Map". Try and find it in the book! What they meant by this was they threw a 7 x 4.5 inch black and white picture of the campaign map on the last page!! The image has terrible contrast and it's black and white and really small. You cant even make out city names that's how bad it is. Considering the game comes with a 1 1/2 foot by 1 foot fold out color map what the heck good is this? More than that the total war website has a province profile in flash that is FREE."

    Very good, the back says that there is a "Fully Detailed Campaign Map".... IN THE GAME!!! it means that the campaign map in the game is fully detailed. The campaigns are awesome in general but that is a different subject altogether.

    I'd like to make the point that never in these types of strategy games or in the Total War series did I require a game guide, I have never bought one for any game as a matter of fact. These types of games simply require common sense and a slight historical knowledge.

    Ok, while this game may be immense in the hard drive space that it requires it more than delivers as an incredible RTS game. The graphics and displays are beautiful as you march grand armies of Greek Hoplites, Roman Chariots, Egyptian archers, and War Elephants across incredibly detailed and vast maps. In addition each and every solider in your army is fully and individually controlled by the computer. In other words, there is no mass control as in other games, (Medieval: Total War for example), an entire unit acts as one and in Rome: Total War there is as individual "personality" to each individual of your troops.

    The graphics are also incredible and yes they do require much of your computers capabilities, so I'd like to address the issue of technical issues. If you are not prepared to stop downloading pornography or music while you play then do not buy the game. This game can be incredible but only if you take an hour or so (if your like me and need to take breaks cause of attention span issues) to just use your computer for this game. I'll admit that multiple times I have been sucked into the game only to end up playing for hours and neglecting many other tasks that required my attention.

    Another credit to this game is the historical accuracy of the in game units. All of the units are taken directly from the historical libraries of the world and are fairly incredible to look at. (there is some embelishment in some of the units.)

    If you are worried about not enjoying the game head over to the Total War website and download the demo. www.totalwar.com

    2 out of 5 stars Forget this Guide !!!.......2005-02-28

    Why bother buying this guide !
    when playing the game
    you have two Roman advice guides to help you.

    2 out of 5 stars Leaves much to be desired.......2004-11-27

    This guide is rather disappointing. It is not a strategy guide as much as it is a manual. The chapters it has on battle maps and campaign maps brovide little information that isn't available in the game's manual. The strategy guide does have a nice catalog of all units and buildings, which is helpful.

    I had hoped this guide would provide a lot of information on how to play the game and get through certain situations. It is nice to know what a certain unit does and what its exact statistics are, but before I am interested in that, I would like some basic information on how to fight a battle. Knowing that fire arrows make the ememy peer their pants is interesting, but it would be nice to know when to use them, when not to use them, how accurate they are compared to regular arrows and such.

    There are many examples that need explaining on the campaign map too. What can I do to make sure my family tree grows? If I do not have enough family members to put a governor in every town and a general in every army, is it better to have towns without governors or armies without a leader?

    None of these questions are answered here. The closest this guide comes to really guiding the reader is in the section about historical battles (although those chapters are very short). Overall, I recommend you go to www.totalwar.org and ignore this guide.

                                        The first part of this book contains E. Lieb's fundamental contributions to the mathematical theory of Condensed Matter Physics. Often considered the founding father of the field, E. Lieb demonstrates his ability to select the most important issues and to formulate them as well-defined mathematical problems and, finally, to solve them. The second part presents Lieb's work on integrable models. His groundbreaking articles helped to establish Exactly Soluble Models as a flourishing research field in its own right. The papers collected in this volume have also been carefully annotated by the editors.

                                        Another hilarious Bond parody in the shape of THE GIRL WITH THE GOLDEN BOUFFANT. James Bond's out of commission and his sister Jane must step once more into his shoes, his smoking jacket, and his girlfriend's bedroom...

                                        When James Bond lands in hospital as the result of a nasty facial burn – while lighting a bird's cigarette, his hair pomade explodes –– Jane Bond, his lesbian twin sister and occasional impersonator, once again dons suit and scars to masquerade as her infamous brother. Her destination: the annual spy convention in the glamorous Las Vegas of the Rat Pack era. Her assignment: to keep her brother's reputation intact through a carefully plotted program of gambling, boozing, and womanising.

                                        Along for the ride are British Secret Service Agent Cedric Pumpernickel, Jane's only ally in the male spy world, and glamorous girlfriend, and G.E.O.R.G.I.E. agent, Bridget St Claire, who finds herself the unwilling love interest of a scrawny lounge singer who, along with his pack of friends, begins a campaign to bed her.The relatively ordinary convention – featuring the latest in jet pack transportation and stylish decoder rings – becomes the scene for murder when someone tosses an Estonian secret agent off the observation deck of Hoover Dam. Days spent at the blackjack table – and nights in the arms of her beautiful girlfriend – come to an abrupt end as Jane uncovers a nefarious plot to eliminate all the best spies of the western world.

                                        Complicating the plot is a romance gone sour: an affair between Agent Pumpernickel and musical sensation Liberace has ended badly, and when Pumpernickel takes to his bed with a box of chocolates and a copy of Queen magazine, Jane must become England's top–action man and stop the killer before he stops her.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Great Writer.......2005-08-02

                                        Mabel Maney is a great writer, full of exuberance and wit. So many books these days are so glum, it's a pleasure to enter Maney's world and see the colors and sights jump off the page. I will definitely read any other books she has coming out!

                                        2 out of 5 stars Not up to par.......2004-07-20

                                        I am a huge Mabel Maney fan, but I was disappointed in this book. There's no light hearted romance in this book--just endless inventories of horrible 1950s pop culture items, and tiresome characters beating each other up. Jane spends the entire book in drag with a glued-on unibrow. Way too much of the book is about Cedric and his unappealing love interest. I kept waiting to be entertained and charmed, as I inevitably am by Maney, and instead I felt just slightly ill. Read the Nancy Clue books or the original Jane Bond parody, but borrow this one from someone who will take it back.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Spytacular!.......2004-06-07

                                        Mabel Maney, yeah, YOU! Keep writing PLEASE! And do a tv show or a cartoon or something! Or how about a video game, breakfast cereal, or a school snack? This is just another marvelous Mabel Maney masterpiece! Mabel Maney wrote the book on inside jokes in queer fiction. Please bring Midge and Velma back in another Nancy book and lots more Jane! Thanks for the fun!

                                        5 out of 5 stars Maney is smart, sexy, and shakes a good martini.......2004-05-22

                                        If God is in the details, Mabel Maney is surely going to heaven in a diamond-studded dog collar! The research it must have taken her to get this parody oh-so-right boggles the mind. I no longer wish I were around in the sixties to see Vegas in its heyday because Maney has recreated the scene(s) to such hilarious perfection and detail that I don't need to taste the fondue to know it was disgusting.
                                        As for Maney, all her books are a fun romp filled with joy, silliness, and chutzpah, and Girl With The Golden Bouffant is another notch in her lipstick case.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Hugely intelligent, achingly funny.......2004-05-08

                                        Mabel Maney is in cahoots with her reader and trusts them to get the jokes, and this James Bond parody abounds with them. She's a hugely intelligent writer, but don't let that stop you. There's a gem lurking in every sentence--her writing bears close inspection. Maney's sly social commentary sneaks up on you, and her own sense of laughter is infectious. Wonderful foolishness combined with a keenly observed sense of the world we live in.
