Take this with a pinch of salt, as the Feral incoming port radar seems to be acting up, but it's possible Rome: Total War [Steam] might be another future port from Feral Interactive.
Taken from their radar today:
It seems it has since been removed.
Then there's also the support page for it, claiming it was released for Linux this month:
Rome: Total War is another highly rated strategy game, which Feral actually ported to iOS not long ago, so it's entirely possible it will come to Linux.
Feral never comment on things they haven't announced, so I will have to wait and see what happens here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Then we're missing Napoleon TW and Rome 2, and that's it. Great news !

It is clear by now that Feral have some sort of cookie cutter framework in place for Total War titles.

I don't care for Total War, but I'm happy it seems to bring money for Feral.

Instabuy! I don't have the time for TW games nowdays but... I can't go against my childhood with this game. I'm so nostalgic right now.
I didn't play the latest Total Wars but, IMHO Rome TW was the BEST total war so far. I appreciate a lot that Feral's brings this game to Linux! The ones that don't like Total Wars should really consider give a try to this one, it's not as complex as new ones and it's a lot of fun.

Fantastic news!
I saw that this game had a Linux icon together with an ios one for some time but I thought it was a mistake..
This is a great because the game doesn't run great on Wine and I can't wait to play it!
Keep it up!

I get that the porting effort is properly much lower after having done a few of the games already ( if it's made by the same people they properly made it the same way.. ) but I can't help but question the ROI here - it's a 13 year old game being released hot on the heels of a pile of "identical" but newer games in the same series.
But then presumably Feral knows what they are doing :P

Since Feral have been porting the game to iOS already (where there's likely more demand since it's the first TW game on the platform) and since Feral has the infrastructure in place for porting the whole series to Linux already in place, I suspect the 'I' in the 'RoI' is relatively small. Having already moved M2:TW to Linux, Rome would probably be a repeat of the exercise with many of the problems already solved and having already made the code go in iOS probably stamped on a handful of bugs that didn't show up on Windows, but showed up on other platforms. Also the admin/bureaucratic overhead in porting more TW games is probably nonexistent.
Also, Rome is still one of the more popular games in the series, between the nostalgia factor (it was the first proper 3D Total War, and for many gamers, it was their first game in the series), and the relative simplicity of the gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if it sells more than some of the later TW games.

Totally don't care, but still good to have more games on Feral's Store, it means more money so more future ports. I want Grim Dawn and Blood Bowl 2.

Do you have a recommendation for a Total War to try for modern graphics and "relatively simplistic" gameplay?
