abstract
| - Rome: Total War has a strict neutral point of view (NPOV) policy. Rome: Total War is best served by trying to present a fair, neutral description of the facts — among which are the facts that various interpretations and points of view exist (of course, there are limits to what POVs are considered worth mentioning, which can be an area of conflict). Rome: Total War is not served by advancing or detracting particular points of view on any given subject. Consequently, articles written from a neutral point of view represent differing views on a subject fairly within the article's scope (in other words, if the scope is mainstream views of physics, than competing mainstream views can and should be presented, but non-mainstream views are almost always irrelevant). "Neutral point of view" should not be confused with "point of view espoused by an international body such as the United Nations"; writing in NPOV style requires recognizing that even widely held or widely respected points of view are not necessarily all-encompassing. While NPOV is an ultimate goal in writing articles relating to the Total War software, NPOV is difficult to achieve immediately as a single writer, and is thus sometimes regarded as an iterative process (as is wiki writing in general), by which opposing viewpoints compromise on language and presentation to produce a neutral description acceptable to all.
