Is it still worth playing?
You plan and manage on a world map and fight real time battles against enemies of the Roman Empire such as the Celts, Carthaginians and Parthians, pausing to give orders to formations. It is a turn based strategy game first released for MS-DOS in 1990 and designed by Kellyn Beck and Bits of Magic. There are also side activities: gladiatorial combat, paid for as part of the player's duties, chariot racing in the Circus Maximus and naval battles. Diplomacy is part of the game too, and after an alliance with Egypt it is even possible to seduce Queen Cleopatra. Building up an empire with these side shows remains a reason to give it a go now.
