Imperator: Rome

If you like big historical strategy where you decide who becomes the next ruler, this one is for you. The pace is slow and deliberate: every choice echoes for years, and your characters age and change right in front of you. What to expect: - The first hours go to figuring out who in your state is unhappy and why, because that decides whether your rule holds. - Characters live their own lives: a general can become a genius or drink himself into trouble, and you have to plan around it. - You can play alone, but the schemes against you usually come from the people you trusted with your army. - One run from antiquity to the fall of an empire gives so many stories that the second playthrough feels completely different.
