Great Battles Collector's Edition
Description
Prepare to rewrite history, the battle begins here...
They were the greatest military commanders of their time, their legendary conquests known worldwide. Their tactics and battles are still revered and studied by scholars and military leaders alike -- almost two thousand years later. Now, you can take up their sword.
As Alexander the Great. Take command of the legendary armies of Macedon. Conquer the rebellious Greeks. Crush the defiant Persians. Capture the crowns of kings and pharaohs to earn the most exalted title of all: Alexander the Great. Or attempt to turn the inexorable tide of Alexander's conquest. Assume the role of Darius, Mennon, Clitus, and other celebrated military commanders of the age. Then engage the forces of Alexander in ten different battles to rewrite the history books.
As the fearless, ruthless Hannibal of Carthage, you are the commander of 25,000 troops who have sworn their allegiance to you in blood. With decisive victories, you will bring the Roman Empire to its knees, and conquer what is rightfully yours.
As mighty Julius Caesar. Control of Rome and its hard-won provinces balances on the point of a spear. As Julius Caesar, you can cross the Rubicon and lead your troops to Rome and the supreme power. Or, as Pompey the Great, Marius, Sulla, or any other of their subordinates, you might just defeat mighty Caesar and reshape history. Either way, the prize of the greatest nation on Earth is yours to conquer. Or to lose. Everything is up to you and your tactical skill in this remarkable anthology of classic turn-based wargames. They rarely make strategy games like these nowadays!

Better than Rome Total war ahead of time
This is possibly one of the best war games ever made. It is certainly in my opinion the best war game ever made about the antiquity and Bronze age. 20 years on its still the best! Not only can you reenact historic battles that are portrayed accurately, you can change the attributes and variables and change history!

Very Good...but not for evry one
Very good and fun. If I remember well it's to some extent of a very good paper wargame. Still I'm unable to launch correctly GBoC while the two other work flawlessly...

Needs a Windows 10/11 update
Otherwise these were some excellent strategy games, i would definitely recommend them to ancient history enthusiasts who may be using older operating systems that can run this. It's a damn shame it won't run on newer o/s and I really GOG can team up with the IP owners to make some kind of patch/update one day. I would love to be able to play these games again.

PC wargame masterpiece
The game is a faithful translation of one of the best tactical wargame series ever produced on Ancient period: having extensively played the boardgame during the nineties, when I bought the PC game I was very happy to find the same flavour and rigorous mechanichs of the original series. A must have for anyone with strong interest in wargaming.
