Gallic Wars: Violens Annalis

This game is interesting as well as fun. Using mouse clicks and choices, you decide the fate of not only the Roma soldiers and garrisons from 53 BC (which you control) but the surrounding other cities you are meant to conquer of other factions/people of the time. The game is simple and to the point and with that you learn quite a bit of history as well between any choices you make per turn. You can attack, sell off and return captors and even invest in the cities you have conquered by sending coin for more food. To not get into any attacks during a turn helps troops and garrisons to replenish themselves from rest. The game first starts you out to obtain a certain amount of cities to conquer. As you progress through the game that amount climbs. I can assume it keeps going until everything has been taken over which in itself will be no small feat. As for battles themselves, this is done with dice rolls. You can watch the battles as they unfold or even do it "quick style" where the game takes care of it all and you wait for the outcome while watching who has the upper hand via slide bars that drain during the battles. Very nice and easy to understand. The game this simple in fact is…

Caesar!
