A slow-burn historical simulation that places you in the role of a Roman commander navigating the political and military upheavals of civil war.

What players say
Players call it the best strategic simulation of Roman warfare, focused on logistics and army organization rather than tactics. The learning curve is steep but rewarding for history fans, though the AI struggles in larger scenarios and the engine can be unstable.
