Story:Imperivm: Great Battles of Rome is a sequel to RPG/RTS games Celtic Kings: Rage of War and Celtic Kings: The Punic Wars. The game, released in May 2005, was developed by Haemimont. The game contains various civilizations to choose from, among them are: Rome (Imperial and Republican), Egypt, Germania, Brittania, Iberia, Gaul and Carthage. It has a more elaborate hero system over its predecessor. The game focuses on tactics, troop mobility and terrain topography rather than sheer strength of numbers for winning battles. Though resources are important there is less relevance in gathering them than in other real-time battle games. Instead of sending an army of servants to mine, lumber, collect food or gather any other kind of resources these are generated at a constant rate directly proportional to the inhabitants of a population center. There are 3 player modes to choose from: Conquest: The battles involved on this game are focused on raising an empire by conquering all the known ancient world, the user can choose any of the available civilizations (see below) to do so. Rome's Greatest Battles: A good amount of effort has been dedicated to historical accuracy; not only on the graphics but on the story line of this pre-built scenarios on which the player can live Rome's defining moments, from The Battle of Zama which marked the final and decisive end of the Second Punic War to the rebellion of Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra. Custom Game: These feature is always present in modern day real time tactic and strategy games, it can be used to practice against computer opponents on custom made scenarios or to go on-line and battle against other human playersShow more

Is is one of the first games I bought when I started playing more seriously games on PC, and it hooked me up. Later years I was able to play the other games of the saga, but this one is special. It really touched us many players in Spain, and also was somewhat historically accurate.

It's the first game that hooked me up on pc gaming. I remember passing hours developing maps to play in and reliving the great battles of a time period I loved studying. It shows its age, but it's a great game nonetheless and I'd love for it to be preserved.
Real-time strategic game that allows you to choose different ancient civilizations. It is also historically accurate. If you can, try it, you'll like it!!!!!!!!

This is the third game in the "Celtic Kings" trilogy by Haemimont Games. 'Celtic Kings' and 'Nemesis of the Roman Empire' are readily available but this third game is not. I'd like to be able to play the complete trilogy in the original form. Only the HD version made by a third party is on Steam, I prefer to have the original that was developed by Haemimont Games.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
