    Default Alea Jacta Est - Roman civil wars - Ageod game

    Alea Jacta Est
    Features
    The game enjoys most of the features and improvement from previous AGEOD games, plus some brand new specific features:

    • Ancient Command and Supply System (based on the Wars in America system), allowing for a good representation of historical army command in the Roman era.
    • Quick and simple system of Construction of Units, allowing players to choose and purchase their forces as they wish (or can) during the annual and grand campaigns.
    • Decision features, playable on the map, like wild card assets.
    • Diversified set of historical events, allowing multiple choices events and options, thereby enhancing flexibility and re-playability.
    • Different updates and other rules, in particular a combat system adapted to ancient warfare and sieges.
    • Map: all of the Roman Empire and neighboring lands, with over 2800 different regions and seas, giving a lot of room for maneuvers.
    • Over a thousand of new leaders (main leaders have individual portraits) and hundreds units with accurate pictures.

    Scenarios
    Five scenarios, starting 87 BC till 200 AD, including the well-known “Caesar vs. Pompey” civil war between 50 and 40 BC, or the infamous “Year of the Four Emperors 68 AD”

    Scenarios vary in length from a few months to quite a few years (in a monthly turn scale)

    Languages: The game will be released in French, English, Spanish and German; including a full 80 pages manual. Translations were provided by expert players and gamers well-known from the AGEOD forums.

    First Expansion Pack
    After the AJE release, the team developing the game has pledged to commit to its first Expansion Pack (Birth of Rome 312 to 236 BC, with many new scenarios and campaigns in the beginnings of the Republic), which will become available in a date to be announced after the game's release, the first of a series of planned expansions aimed at covering most of the Roman Empire history.

    Scenario Packs
    Also, in preparation, they have various sets of Thematic Scenario Packs, each covering scenarios or campaigns in a specific theater of operation or versus a particular foe of Rome (in various stages of production now: Longuinqua Britannia, Furor Germanicus, Regnum Dacicum and Bellum Parthicum, planned to be released in sequence over 2012 and 2013)

    Modders Scenario Packs
    Also, the team would love that some key beta and players have their say in producing original scenarios of their own choosing…the Roman era is large and long enough for this. The game Databases will be available shortly after release to help the volunteers…

    The Team
    The original team that created AJE consists of Bohémond, El Nino and GPepper & Pangi (artworks), all forum veterans and AGE experts. In addition, a few key forumites here are giving them help and assistance in finalizing the game…Can’t name them all, but they are from the most experienced of our players.

    Release date
    Release date set at September 22th..

    Preorder
    You can pre order it from the homepage now and play it on the September 18th!

    Seems like the problems that plagued Rome Universalis does not exist here. Looks like a great game. Hopefully there is a wide list of factions and states.

    Tactical? Ageod's games are about strategy, numbers and attrition. Phillipe Thibault from Ageod is the original creator of the Europa Universalis boardgame.

    I don't think they are using the code from Pride of nations.

    This is from the forum

    Since it will be mainly a war (and not an economic) game, using v2 of the engine, chances are that it will be extremely fast and optimized. By the way, the developers are working in improving the performance of v3 (PON engine) as well.

    Not really. This game has drawn 2d maps, full of details and strategic depth. Look at some of their other games like:

    Rise of Prussia

    Ageod's American Civil War

    Pride of Nations

    Could be interesting, I'll see what the reviews are like once the game's been released.

    Also, am I the only one who would've prefered if they spelled it like "Aela iacta est"? Looks nicer/better IMHO

    Hi there,

    If you haven't heard, there is a new Roman Civil Wars game being produced by AGEOD. I created a new thread before I was notified this one was around. I've partnered with AGEOD to do the tutorials. Here is the 1st one on Youtube. http://youtu.be/H5s-jLI_VX0
    It is a very detailed and historically accurate strategy game.

    All tutorials are now, and will be in HD due to demand.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Charles
