Control three different civilizations, each featuring a unique set of troops and war machines. The terrain and landscape play a major part in battle. Your enemy will understand each situation's defensive and offensive possibilities - will YOU? Compete for the honour of Rome with up to 8 generals over LAN or Internet.
