Description
It is the Time of Troubles. Ushered in by his Glorious Emperor, Hydrates XVII, Keeper of the Silicon Grail and Lord of the Hegemony, a millennium of peace ended in the searing hell of a forbidden technology. The Eternal City is no more, unis mundi, pluribus mundi. Who can understand the reasoning for such a thing but the perpetrators themselves? Perhaps they were among the shadowy few who referred to the Glorious Peace as the Silicon Decadence...

When the game was brand new I didn't get to play it as it wasn't released on my computer of the choice. I got to play it a couple of years later (94ish) and liked it, even though I didn't have much time to really get to know it.
From what I remember it was good.
Gameplay wise it was basically a game similar to another classic of the era, Empire (and) Empire Deluxe.
More detailed, more units etc from either of them.
If you like strategy games, go for it.
I remember having big expectations for this game as my previous pc game was Empire Deluxe.
Unfortunately this is a game that the AI plays like every city creates a unit that makes a "chain" of units to attack a city. The AI will stack all it's Artillery into one huge pile of unit; while a human player has individual units. So the big stacks are neutralized like Russian Armor in Ukraine.
Also ships and aircraft must refuel - Ships refueling was never a big draw for me.
It's all I can remember - I can't remember a challenging game from the AI.
I got a better game against a human opponent.
This is a great game, reminiscent of Warcraft but without the real time. It can get a bit grindy by having to give orders to each unit every round, but it holds up for what it is.
No, I'm not going to read the manual for anti-piracy reasons or whatever.
