Rome: Total War!

So this afternoon I rekindled my interest in strategy games. Now, I love a good turn based strategy game. Sadly, it's been a while since I played a good one (Master of Orion 3 certainly wasn't it). After talking a bit with another friend of mine, I'm right now trying to download Rome: Total War.

My goal is of course to use the fabled Incendiary Pigs on everything.

Yes, that's a real unit. It's how you counter elephants. I don't know about you, but if I were a soldier and some other side sent pigs after me --pigs that were ON FIRE, I'd be... concerned. Or hungry for ham. Either way my mind wouldn't be on the battle.

My only concern with this is that if I get involved in yet another game my grand plans for gaming and self improvement will be postponed yet again.

I think there's only one way out of this. I need to start using Macs at home. Macs have almost no games. Thus, no temptation. Win!
