An expansion for Rome: Total War
The first expansion pack for Rome: Total War, Barbarian Invasion takes the action forward in time 349 years after the end of the original game. Beginning in 363 AD and ending in 476 AD (although the player can choose to continue beyond this point if they see fit), it depicts the great migrations of the Germanic and steppe peoples (notably the Huns) and simulates the religious tension of the time as the three religions of Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Paganism fight for dominance.

Improves on the original in many ways. The only thing I will say, is that the huns are incredibly difficult to defeat. If you know, you know.
Technically better than the vanilla original, but only because it lets you play all the factions.
While Alexander had a map that lacked Europe, this expansion's map lacks most of Asia. Not to mention it's not very accurate.
Still the turn limit makes this game practically unplayable for me. Despite how fun and addictive the core gameplay is.
I would still recommend the modded original over this.
