| ROME Total War: Barbarian Invasion

For some reason it feels like it's been ages since ROME: Total War/Barbarian Invasion came out on the iPad. But, we've got two lots of updates today to keep you busy.

ROME: Total War has been updated to version 1.7.3 while Barbarian Invasion is now at 1.7.2. The update patch notes are as follows:
  • The option to select a larger unit size to that recommended for their device. Doing so may reduce performance, but players can prioritise unit size if they wish. For example, if the device recommends a unit size of 40 troops per unit, it can be bumped up a notch to 80 troops per unit. This option is found in the iOS Settings app.

  • The option to run 3D battles at half-speed, giving players more time to refine their tactics.

  • The option to play the game in Russian.

  • Optimisation for the new 2017 iPad (5th Generation).

  • Further improvements to stability.

It may not be an absolutely huge change, but it gives you a few more options to tailor the game how you like it. Just don't go overboard, no one likes a painfully slow device, especially not in the midst of battle.

Grab ROME: Total War for £9.99/$9.99 or Barbarian Invasion for £4.99/$4.99 on the App Store.
