Praetorians

There is no way to change the game speed. The map scale is all wrong. Archers will fire at the speed of machine guns, and cavalry move at the speed of Ferrari race cars. Sounds fun, until you THINK. The computer can see the whole map at one time. The computer can, for all intents and purposes, issue orders to all units simultaneously. You are a human being. You have human reaction time, and you have to scroll around the map to find out what is happening where. The maps are fairly tiny, and cramped. You cannot keep up against the AI. You get a tiny army, and miniscule resources. The computer gives itself insanely huge hordes of soldiers, and appears to have completely unlimited resources. Okay, so, that means superior strategy will win, correct? WRONG. There is not enough ROOM to arrange your soldiers in the proper configuration. There are not enough RESOURCES for you to be able to muster enough men to fight off the COLOSSAL HORDES of unending enemies. You can never react fast enough, because archers and cavalry move TOO FAST for the scale of the map. Yes, your soldiers are equally fast. That does NOT MATTER. You cannot see the whole map: no mini map. You have to keep scrolling around, and by the time you get to trouble, it's too late, the battle is OVER.....yes, the game is that abrupt, unfair, fuc**d up and crappy.

Many other reviews here will tell you about the anti-aliasing, the pixel shading, the depth ratio, etc. I am going to tell you just one thing: The soldiers in your Phalanxes will actually turn 90/180 degrees before executing a turn order. Buy this game.

Really good game, well worth the $6!!

Sadly game is just too hard to invest your money and time in playing it.
