DreamCatcher Games today held the mother of all toga parties with the announcement of Pax Romana, an epic historical strategy game for PC in November 2003. Pax Romana will be distributed in the UK by Mindscape.
Designed by the creators of Europa Universalis, Pax Romana is based in ancient Rome and features both strategic and political gameplay. The strategic aspect is very much a battle of cunning and well-planned field tactics, whereas the political side involves the manipulation of senators and generals alike, as politicians seek to gain military and financial power. Wannabe politicians can even assume the role of characters such as Caesar, Pompey or Crassus and lead their factions into 40 different political and battle scenarios.
Pax Romana features an intelligent and intuitive interface with five real-time game speeds and multiplayer functionality for up to six players. The game's depth and accuracy is unrivalled, with six different political parties and dozens of opponents; a historically accurate reproduction of ancient Rome's political, economical and military structure.
Pax Romana features a huge map with 500 European regions and four levels of zoom. Furthermore, gamers face more than 40 different army units with discipline, morale and experience levels and take part in nearly 150 historical events.
Ultimately the victor is the player who uses their political influence, wealth or military force to become the leader of Rome – and even then only if Rome herself is victorious.
Pax Romana will be published by DreamCatcher Games and distributed by Mindscape in November 2003, price £19.99.
