Hmm, I'll keep an eye on this one.

Its looks interesting but I have learned to be very skeptical of games lately.

Shogun was called the best game in years but I hated it, I really don't know.. it seems just too static to me

it sounds interesting, but has Dreamcatcher ever succeeded with a strategy game? Didnt they also publish "Superpower" also an interesting concept, but ended up being a bit of a flop?

A decent grand strategy game set in ancient Rome has long been a desire of mine. I used to play the boardgame Imperium Romanum II... too bad that hasn't been used as the basis for a computer game.

Anyway, I'm tentatively excited about Pax Romana; hope they pull it off.

I've followed this game some time now. It looks interesting!

And the fact that the leader of the company was originally in the team making EU1, before he split off, is certainly a plus.

Interesting, so theres now a network of ex paradox developers, just like the network of Ex-microprose Civ developers.

Well, I don't know exactly how many that split off, but yes, you could say it like that.

**Nikolai** · October 30, 2003, 12:04

BTW, they seem to be following the "tradition" of Paradox, as it's rumoured that they allready is planning Pax Romana 2.

It looks promising, but they need to work on their translation.

Well since posting this thread Ive readup extensively on this game and spent a little while on the forums for it. My conclusion is that the game will offer interesting strategy gameplay, and I especially like the idea of playing the leader of a faction within the senate of Rome.

Aplayer will have to pay attantion to whats going on in the senate or risk losing influence during the game itself, as well as managing any provinces under your control. Defence of any assets will be vital as the enemies will be watching for weakpoints and of course you will need to expand the empire.

From what I can see victory depends on your characters survival, on your factions survival and on Rome's survival. It seems the AI barbarians and fellow Roman factions will be trying their upmost to take power from you in the game.

The only thing Im not so convinced of yet, although there is not really enough info on it to pass judgement, is the real time combat mode. All in all though its looking to be a good little title and I think I will be getting hold of a copy when they release it.

**DrSpike** · October 31, 2003, 06:01

What's the expected release date?

**Jamski** · October 31, 2003, 08:16

And will it be in direct competition with Rome:Total War?

I know which one will get my €45,-

It has not gone gold yet AFAIK.

But no, it's played in a whole different way than R:TW. Check out the official forum, and especially the AARs.
