I enjoy the game, my only real issues are the grit/afternoon lighting and filter, army limitations making it so I cant have my usual small roving patrols, and the squalor system which I hope to rebalance for myself in a mod in the future. I don't like that every army has to have a general even if it's just a single unit. Some things REALLY should not cause squalor such as the higher tier farms.
Graphics are pretty darn good, I just want to get rid of the gritty filter and the afternoon only lighting. I crave mid-day fights and morning battles.
The maps don't vary all that much in a region but I can deal with that just fine.
The AI for me has been acceptable but they're really annoying and half the time threaten me for money while asking for treaties.
It's pretty darn fun to play other than that. It is a pretty buggy launch for many so unless your PC is a good one it sounds like you'd be better off waiting a month or two for the bugfix patches to roll out.
it actually seems to be the other way around, the people with problems seems to be in the high end with pc's (myself includet), while im seeing people with 2-3+ year old rigs running it fine (fps wise)
from everything i read sofar on the forums, it would seem that the more recent pc you have, the higher risk of it not working
.....which is sad, to say the least
oh and to answer the OP, no, the game in its current state, is not worth getting.
even if you dodge the bullet with fps issues, the game itself is majorly screwede

Well that's interdasting because my pc runs it brilliantly. I've heard nothing really all that bad from high end users but the low to mid have had loads of graphical issue such as the "zombie romans" or blood red skies. The only time I have issues is when I screw around with the memory too much via trainers and CoSMOS and even then it's rare.
If you're wondering where my PC is at here's what I've got for performance:
3.25 GHz 6 core Intel i7
EVGA Superclocked GeForce GTX 680
16GB RAM
Asus Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard
Windows 7 Professional Edition 64 bit
128GB SSD
2TB HDD 7200 RPM 6GB/s (where my steam games reside)

''mostly'' for highend rigs then
and just to show how random it is, a guy on the steam forum for Rome, listed his speccs, as dual titans, and he didn't get above 25ish FPS in battles
im not a godly expert on pc's, but nor am i clueless to it, and it baffles me, how random the performance issues hits, i mean of all people, a guy with dual titans should eat this game for breakfast
