About Field of Glory II
✦ AI summary
Command ancient armies across 300 years of pivotal pre-Christian battles with 86 historically accurate units representing Rome, Carthage, Greece, and dozens of other civilizations. This turn-based tactical wargame lets you refight legendary engagements like Cannae and Zama, create alternate histories with custom battles, or wage campaigns that grow your generals' experience and power.
Field of Glory II is a turn-based tactical game set during the Rise of Rome from 280 BC to 25 BC
The game that brought the fun and excitement of the tabletop experience to digital form is back. Developed by legendary designer Richard Bodley Scott in a completely new 3D engine, Field of Glory is ready to set new standards in computer wargaming.
Field of Glory II allows you to fight large or small battles for or against Rome, or between the other nations who are as yet unaware of the Roman threat, or what-if battles between nations that never actual came into conflict historically, but might have done if the course of history had been different.
Take command of a huge variety of armies employing vastly different tactical doctrines. Lead your chosen army and its named generals to victory in set-piece historical battles or "what-if" custom battle situations against an AI or human opponent.
Victory will require determination and tactical mastery!

There's a lot of depth here if you're into historical strategy games, but the pace is much slower than I was hoping for. Battles can drag on, and the presentation doesn't do much to keep things interesting. I can see why some people enjoy it, but it just wasn't for me.8 found this helpful

i like turn based games and although it seems simple it isnt easy to win. No problems with crashes etc. very playable and replayable.1 found this helpful
Good game other than the fact that the light troops are far too powerful
The tactical implications of this game outshine anything I have seen in the past. The flanking mechanics of the game along with the charging rate of the horses truly makes my day. Would recommend if you need to waste 5-15 minutes of your life (which you will never get back),
cool
