more Graphics could be better. Good play with combining cavalry tactics and infantry assaults. Wish cavalry skirmishes could launch javelins and then move not just move and throw but throw and then move

Not really a bad game, but I do feel like some scenarios (particularly the ones in Africa) just aren’t as epic in execution as that in other games. Also, the first mission for the Romans in Africa seems bugged, and I just found it easier to destroy the enemy army rather than lure them into the trap. Otherwise, not that bad of a game, but I believe Rome succeeds more in the ancient battle experience
