Excellent Old Skool game

20+ years old and still great to play. You need good tactics to win otherwise the AI will crush you. Protect your archers and deploy expedable troops to whittle down the AI counter attacks. Great playing with an ally against 2 enemies.

Great gameplay Garbage maps

You have alot of cool units to mess around with and cool formations to do with cool tactics. But then all the maps are claustrophobic and you can't do any of those cool things because all of your units drink nothing but lead and even if you have them on Defensive they will still get baited into ambushes without your input, even when you click them away they still autistically screech to their deaths.

Praetorians Beware!

I liked the look of the game it is a nice eye candy view of a Roman landscape. Unfortunately the AI cheats at every possible critical point leaving no time for any Centurian to think on his feet. Stick to Legions of Rome or Rome Total War.
