Other Roman era video games while we wait?

[Stoferr]

So, any recent roman era video games we can buy and play while we wait for Rome 2?

I've been googling a bit, but I cant find anything, thats less than 3-4 years old, and most of those I've already played.

This can also count modifications for games, that make a roman theme. As an example, if you didnt know, there are Roman themed mods for the Mount and Blade series, if you haven't tried it out, its worth a look.

Rome: Total War's a pretty safe bet.

[Awake]

I hate to say it, but really, a heavily modified version of the original RTW is probably as is good as its gonna get.

[AngryHoneyBadger]

there is one roman era game coming out by the AGEOD also known as paradox france in the next month or two that offers an grand campaign and covers severals wars through scenarios like sulla civil war and the year of the four emperors,
they are an really good studio and the game so far looks really good
here's the link

Although it got a few bad reviews, i actually enjoyed Grand Ages:Rome, city simulator with a bit of military mixed in was actually a very good game to play, relaxing as well.

[Sol Invictus]

EU: Rome Gold should get a final patch any day now and is a fairly good game. IJE from AGEOD as mentioned earlier should be a really good game but that won't get released for a couple of months most likely.

There's Paradox's Europa Universalis treatment of Roman history, too:

I agree..very nice game... but i like as well ANNO 1404...it's not from rome but I think one of the best strategy

Praetorians is old but good, and quite challenging.

try longbow's hegemony gold for right now, and hegemony:the rise of ceaser early next year.

Hegemony is HUGELY addicting. It's a fantastic game; looking forward to Rise of Caesar.

It's also only $10 on Steam until July 23rd.

Age of Empires: Rise Of Rome. Classic.

Age of Empires: Rise Of Rome. Classic.

Heavily seconded! I keep having flashbacks more to AoE: RoR than RTW for some reason. I actually played much less RTW and helluva more AoE: RoR

Another game I'd suggest is Caesar IV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_IV_(computer_game) City Building with some military, wall defense for city, etc

I've only played Caesar III but I remember it fondly, even though my copy was bugged or something. I kept having fires all over my cities. When I played a friend's copy, I fared much better, on the same map/mission/settings. Odd...

The same company also released Pharaoh, if you're into Egypt more. Here's their City Building series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Building_Series

Perhaps CA could look into this genre for inspiration and expanding their city building somewhat more in TW series.

Grand ages: Rome. RTS City-builder but has a very mild and small Military Action and scenarios.

[Du Silence]

From all the Roman Era games I've witnessed, I got to hand it to the RTW mods out there, they do a superb job, and quite frankly are nothing like the Vanilla.
So depending what kinds of games you like, you could try one of those.

[Destraex]

How about field of glory. Its pretty new and can be fun. Turn based of course.

[wolfbane751]

theres celtic kings rage of war

and preatorians though iv never played this one

The original Rome + Roma Surrectum II is a good place to go.

Roma Surrectum II for RTW http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=251
2.6 is out soon with lots of fixes and improvements, well worth getting.

Centurion: Defender of Rome was the most awesome Roman game many years ago:
