"GRAND AGES ROME" is the long awaited sequel to the best-selling strategy game "Imperium Romanum".
You are a Governor of a Roman Province in the time-honoured Roman Empire its fortune very much lies in your hands. Choose one of five Roman noble families such as Caesar's Julii with different abilities to accomplish the comprehensive missions.
Defend yourself against barbarian tribes, trade with other cultures, build a wealthy economic environment and fullfil the needs of your people in a huge single player campaign or with up to 3 human players in the multiplayer mode!
Age of Empires is set in the past, Command & Conquer explores the future, but up to now there was no real-time strategy game that covered the whole breadth of human history.
Empire Earth fills this gap and lets you wage war with everything from prehistoric stone thrower up to futuristic battle-mechs. Empire Earths mastermind Rick Goodman was lead designer of the original Age of Empires.
Similarities are thus hardly surprising; in fact, his new game can be considered a 3D version of its predecessor. Despite the graphical leap, the games look and feel are very familiar - AoE fans will feel perfectly at home. The perspective is fixed in an isometric view, camera management is not required.
In your quest to crush the opposition, you build settlements, collect five resource types, recruit troops (land, sea, air) and, well, fight battles. Unit improvements are no longer researched in buildings, but can be bought at once for each unit type. For example, you can increase your tanks hit points, attack value, armor, speed and range separately for a price.
Its your choice whether to spend your income on a huge army, or on an advanced one. Throughout the campaign, you also earn civilization point for heroic deeds; you can spend these on general unit improvements, e.g. reducing your archers building time by 30%, or making your citizens 20% faster.
The games four campaigns span the entire history of warfare: conquer the Mediterranean as the Greeks, lead the English from the middle ages to the battle at Waterloo, change history by making the Germans victors of the First and Second World War, and finally create a Russian empire in 2025.
The campaign missions are heavily scripted and contain quite a few adventure elements; for example, you must lead William Duke of Normandy safely through enemy ambushes. As the scenarios focus on a set time frame, you dont advance through the 14 epochs (from the Prehistoric Era to the Nano Age). In skirmish mode and in multiplayer battles, however, you may lead your people from caves into skyscrapers.

Haemimont's game is first out of the gate with a very traditional design that's relatively free of both complexity and challenge. Built on the same principles as games like SimCity, Settlers and the Impressions city games, Glory of the Roman Empire tasks players with a variety of city planning missions throughout the Empire, from Cartagena to Londonium, from Cologne to Syracuse
Each city offers unique challenges -- some provide bonus resources, some are susceptible to plagues or barbarian attacks -- so you'll learn how to manage a variety of situations. Completing certain missions in a city will open up challenges in other cities so, while the game is relatively linear, there are plenty of opportunities to shuffle the missions around a bit.
Since you'll find yourself coming back to certain cities to complete new objectives, you're encouraged to build balanced settlements rather than simply rushing towards the goal at the expense of your city's overall well-being.
One particularly notable sequence of missions has you running back and forth completing competing projects in neighboring cities. One builds a theater, so the other has to build an academy, then the first city responds by building a coliseum.
It's a great way to build a player's connection in their work while still giving them a bit of variety.
Unfortunately, everything in the game can only be rotated in increments of 45 degrees. While it makes for some regimented, orderly city plans, it lacks the more open feeling of the villages in games like Black & White 2.
Being able to design with curves would definitely make it easier to utilize your space more efficiently, particularly where roads and aqueducts are concerned. Being locked into the 45-degree scheme means you'll be stuck with a bit of wasted space and some awkward intersections.
The graphics certainly look good though. The buildings have a slightly stylized look to them that adds a lot of character to the game. Some might prefer more realistic graphics but there's so much more charm and personality here, both in the designs and color choices.
It can take a while before you're used to identifying buildings by appearance alone but the different designs are pleasant and stand up to close inspection. Lights start to burn in the windows as day turns in to night.
There's not much variety among your citizens but it is nice to see some specific animations. Watching your people ply their various trades or worship at the temple definitely adds a bit of life to the game. Your citizens will break rocks at the quarry, clamor for bread at the warehouses, and the sick ones will even pause in the middle of their errands and start coughing in the streets.
All the charm of the visuals is supported by the game's sound design. The music is nicely understated, lying comfortably in the background and never demanding your attention. The various effects in the game add lots of life. Birds chirp in the trees, water laps at the shores and fire crackles as it spreads from building to building.
Overall, the sound design is very convincing.

Total War Barbarian Invasion is the expansion to last year's popular Rome:
Total War, a strategy game that let you oversee the rise and dominance of the Roman Empire. Fittingly, Barbarian Invasion is about the fall of said empire, which itself was an epic event in history, as Rome's fall laid the foundations for modern Europe as we know it.
Of course, you're probably more focused on the strategy than the history of the period, so we got our hands on a late version of the expansion and sacked a few Roman cities ourselves for this report.
