The basic gameplay style of this game was inspired by many earlier hexagon based "oldskool" or retro PC strategy games like Fantasy General, Panzer General and Battle for Wesnoth as well as some of the more recent titles, such as Uniwar on mobile devices ... with a little bit of Civilization / Freeciv spirit mixed in. However, the backdrop of the game is set in the ancient Rome, and the game attempts to follow faithfully the known course of the events to the extent that is known to the modern historywriting (some liberties have been taken in interpreting the details to make the game more entertaining). The game has some minor RPG like elements such as unit leveling (success in combat leads first to veteran, then to elite status, giving stats improvements), but at its heart it is first and foremost a pure strategy game.
Nearly two millennia before the era of medieval knights and castles of the European middle ages, the first ancient settlers of the Roman tribe founded the city of Rome. As the legends customarily tell, the twin brothers and townsmen Romulus and Remus were the original founders, with Romulus eventually becoming the first king of Rome. From its humble beginnings first as a small village, and then a local kingdom, its destiny was to become a great empire encompassing all coasts of the Mediterranean sea and even beyond. For centuries, his royal majesty the Emperor of Rome was undoubtedly the most highborn ruler on the Earth, wielding total authority over a large portion of the humankind, until barbarian hordes and many years of revolution brought the fallen empire to its end.
The game begins in the very first years of the Roman saga; You, the player, will lead the Roman army, legion after legion, from a battle to another in the name of the Roman Empire against the mighty warlords of the neighbouring realms. Assault the Etruscans on river Tiber, stop the madness of Samnite invasion in Campania, conquer South Italy, drive Carthaginians out from the isle of Sicily, and much more ... May the god of war Mars spare you from the fury and vengeance of your enemies in the battlefield!
While the main campaign of the game deals with the Roman Republic expansion wars, the second campaign is played as commander Hannibal of Carthage, one of the greatest military commanders to ever live, whose brief advance against Rome brought him all the way from North Africa almost to the gates of Rome before the Romans got their defense lines established. This revival of warfare between Carthage and Rome came to be known as the Second Punic War in history.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
1 ★This game was so close to being awesome. I went through 16 battles, I had the odds in my favour for every battle (some by as much as 80%) and lost all of them. I immediately uninstalled.
3 ★I kept freezing when it was the computers turn
2 ★The ai needs work, even 15/1 loses a battle? Uninstalled
5 ★Great game
5 ★The game play is enjoyable, with an interesting unit mix and historic theme. Definitely worth checking out for grognards looking for light entertainment. It is held back by lack of sound. Graphics are clear and functional. Recommended!
3 ★For free it is worth the download. My only gripe is the % calculator, I feel that for an 80/20 in my favor the computer seems to have a better chance of winning, also if the %+ from terrain and such were already worked into the final % or not I'm still not sure.
3 ★It's a great strategy that's simple to understand, but the multiplayer on this is frustrating since it always crashes after I leave the game then try to return. It's a must have if you're into strategy games, but multiplayer is almost unplayable lest you finish it on the first try.
5 ★Awesome. A little expensive, would love another free map
4 ★Looking for a turn based game and this was almost it. The instructions were not too good. I didn't like the heath system. Three hits and a unit is dead. Or one unit keeps getting lucky and never dies.
5 ★Strategy and patience.
