Our take on Nemesis of the Roman Empire
Rather than limiting strategy to frontline clashes, the game combines army command with hero-led forces, local resource movement, naval logistics, world-affecting rituals, and the capture of settlements. Its two campaigns also present the Roman and Carthaginian sides of the conflict.
What is Nemesis of the Roman Empire?
This real-time strategy game includes two single-player campaigns: one follows Rome’s invasion of Carthage, while the other centers on Carthage and Hannibal’s campaign against Rome.
Players command armies across large maps containing neutral settlements and hostile camps. Heroes can lead up to 50 units and provide battle bonuses. Settlements manage local resources that can be transported elsewhere, while units can seize caravans, outposts, cities, and settlements. Ships and shipyards support naval battles and move armies or resources between shores. Rituals at ancient worship sites affect the wider world. Army and settlement upgrades, equipment with unit-specific bonuses, and special abilities add further strategic options. Multiplayer is functional but unsupported.
