Its fantastic to see these 2 great engines dealing with my favorite time in history...

Not to mention Total War Rome 2 is in the works. The Roman Era gets a lot of love lately.

The forums? It was a big issue when they redid the software a couple months back. I had to create a new account. If it's your store account, you should just be able to email the Phils and get all fixed.

Well - there goes my "strategy game" hiatus!

Pre-ordered :D

Maybe I'll get to play this one. And I agree with someone on the front page of this thread - they make it easy to buy a game!

I have a stupid question. In my defense the only AGEOD games I've played are Rise of Prussia and PRoN. Is there any sort of empire management, aka managing taxes, city building, etc in AJE? Given that its an AGEOD game I'm hoping its more about managing my armies then it is managing the whole Roman empire.

No idea sorry. I read very little about it. Being AGEoD and about Rome with a Sparticus scenario - I was sold.

There is some along with event triggers and choices from my understanding. However it is about operational warfare similar to RoP.

It seems to be mostly military based as the other AGE games were.

You can collect taxes and build and train units but I do not believe much more than that.

It reminds me of the boardgame " Imperium Romanum II".

They are planning a lot of DLCs if it takes off. The first one is from 318 to 236 BC. There has also been some posts about it being very moddable and people are already talking about doing a mod for this period or group of years etc..

The great thing is that for many of you, this will be your first AGEOD game....because your desperate....and you HAVE to have the only operational Roman warfare game. once you learn it, it will open up all of the other AGEOD games that you were so scared of.

^You read me like a book.

Why do you have to go and say thing that makes sense like that...

I ordered it and downloaded last night. Make sure you guys click on the icon in the bot

tom left of the map...its a statue or something. Brings up a whole crap-load of things you can do to the land you are in and such.

Gusington · September 05, 2012, 10:46:05 AM

Thanks for that! I am sure there will be a ton of things I will need help deciphering in this.
