Advantages: Amazing gameplay, always a challenge

Disadvantages: Slightly large on the memory size, but totally worth it!

I opened this game a few years ago and was a bit surprised to find 3 disks and one of the thickest manuals i've seen for a computer game. But after installing this game I've played it solidly for years!

You get the choice of creating a quick battle to test your tactics against a worthy foe, or start a campaign as numerous factions including Rome's finest families. In a bid to spread the empire you have to control your finances and defend your cities against siege, whilst constantly expanding in all directions. The 3D battle engine is phenomenal, allowing thousands of soldiers on the screen at any one time in realistic armour be it in pouring rain or blistering sand storms. For any self confessed strategist this is a must buy game, especially for the price it now sells at!

My only criticism of the game can be once it's installed, you're going to start getting less sleep and spend your day dreaming of how to besiege Londinium with your small band of Equites, war dogs and militia!

Summary: My favourite PC game of all time
