What players say

Players praise the historical setting and political simulation but are sharply divided by technical issues: frequent crashes, save corruption, and a crash-on-checksum failure that Steam cannot fix. Many call it better than Imperator Rome, while others say to just get Imperator instead. The game is also considered terribly dated and unbalanced, especially with overwhelming barbarian attacks.
