Looking for Roman Era games (GA ofcourse)

early 90s game: Centurion
it not only include fights, but you can fight in colosseum or have a chariot race in circus maximus, was a great game in its time.

not on steam, you can find on some site for free and will work with dos emulator.

here is a little video about the game:

When I was younger I played a bunch of Centurion, Defender of Rome... it was fun but I don't think it aged very well. The Civilization games have scenarios from that era that I'm sure you would enjoy.

For the middle ages, there is nothing out there better than Crusader Kings II, in my opinion.

If you like reading and are interested in the Roman period, Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series is amazing.

Bump

Praetorians is on steam... it's a pretty decent strategy game, which has two problems:

1: Graphics: It hasn't aged well, like most early-3D strategy games
2: Graphics: It doesn't like windows7-and-up, expect a few graphical glitches, mostly with water not rendering consistently. Not gamebreaking or anything, but annoying enough that it gets in the way of enjoyment. But if you have a PC that's old enough, it shouldn't be an issue. Or maybe a virtual desktop solution can work, I don't know about that.

I like the fact that they have different unit types able/unable to acces certain areas, like spearmen and cavalry can't enter forests,legionaries can't get through water, etc. and what's really interesting is how you can 'demote' any unit to become your basic builders, but not the other way around, and I like that you actually need to do some scouting before you move. Also, sieges are fun, on either side.

Piece of gameplay advice: Don't go rushing all over the map, it's not that kind of game. Take it slow and you might actually have fun.

You could give Titan quest a go. Not really roman era but roman themed. It's pretty decent game overall.

Rock of Ages has antique themed maps. As well as medieval ones.
