The player assumes control of one of three Roman families with eight other factions playable outside the main campaign. The main goal of the campaign is to become emperor of Rome by conquering fifty provinces with the support of the people before capturing Rome itself although a short campaign is also available wherein success depends on besting other factions in a race to seize control of 15 provinces.

    Oh sure, another turn based masterpiece nobody actually finishes past the third province

    La caméra tactique manque encore de fluidité, enfin surtout en zoom rapide

    Y tú, ¿jugabas con alguna familia en concreto o probabas todas por curiosidad

    Lo instalé después de que un compañero de trabajo no parara de hablar de sus batallas durante semanas y entendí enseguida por qué no callaba

  4. Manzano69

    167 puesto con un 71% de victorias en 129 duelos, algo no cuadra del todo, aunque quizás el ELO tarda en reflejar lo que la gente realmente vota

  5. SilentSniper

    Sigue firme. O más bien, sigue mereciéndolo, que no es lo mismo que estar de moda

    froyer

    Mérité, oui, mais mérité et joué régulièrement ce sont deux choses différentes, moi je le relance surtout pour une grosse bataille puis je referme sans finir la campagne

    Tu parles de ces mêmes heures de campagne, mais elles comptent pour combien dans ton vote au juste...
