Conquer, rule and manipulate the Roman Empire with the ultimate goal of being declared as the "Imperator" of Rome. Set in a time when the mighty Roman Empire emerged to conquer the known world against powerful enemies, when gladiators fought to a bloody death in the Coliseum; when Spartacus defied the might of the empire; when Hannibal led his invincible army and his war elephants across the Alps to strike fear into the very heart of Rome itself; and when Julius Caesar finally smashed the Barbarian Gauls. This was a time of brutal confrontation between civilisation and barbarism, and of civil war as the ancient world's only superpower turned on itself.
This game is really good. It mixes tactical game play without leaving out those gamers who just like to fight with huge armies. One of my favorite features in this game is how the game gives perks to your character depending on how well, or poorly you play with them in battle. The game does well in many areas which makes it such a success. Very easy to learn tutorial, the army verse army engagements are great, understanding how to use military tactics matters/helps and is taught, Your army gains experience as well as your general. What i find upsetting is the diplomacy is unrealistically difficult. Politics is near impossible if your into that type of game style of play. I'm not talking about the Roman Senate.
