I thought Rome II was good fun. It made battles fun again after I started to get bored of the ones in Shogun 2. Ok at the start, the game went through a bit of a rough patch but it is now fully playable and very fun. Ok the AI bugs sometimes but let’s be honest it is hard to get AI correct and I much rather have AI in Rome II then some other games. Although you might be better off getting Atila (but as it was literally released today and CA don’t have great reputation with playable games on day one release I don’t know. You might want to wait a while).
