Looking to recreate the forces at play during the period (first century BC to the third century AD) with unprecedented historical accuracy (leaders, units, events), this offering provides you with the possibility to relive some of the most pivotal conflicts that pitted Roman against Roman, such as:

 

• Civil war between Marius and Sulla (and Mithridate of Pontus) (87 to 82 BC).

• The conflict between Rome, Sertorius and Mithridate (75 to 70 BC)

• The great Roman civil war with Caesar opposing Pompey (50 to 45 BC)

• The Year of the Four Emperors (68 to 70 AD)

• The advent of Septimius Severus (193 to 198 AD)

 

Expect the well-known AGE engine employed to empower you in your plottings as well:

 

The map shows the whole Europe, Northern Africa and the Near East (over 2800 regions), with cities, roads, fortifications, terrain, weather, tribes and kingdoms of the time (adjusted for each scenario).

 

Beyond playing against the AI, play-by-email with up to 3 other players is also an option.

 

Pre-ordering from the AGEOD site grants exclusive access to a bonus original scenario - Spartacus Revolt (73 BC) but the game is additionally aiming to power through to Steam should it be Greenlighted by you here.

 

Expansion packs have long been planned to follow the release and loom already on the horizon.

 

In the meantime, there's a handful of recently aired video tutorials (
