5 reasons to play Praetorians, Nov 01, 2009

by Manoj Roy (Agartala, India)

The top 5 reasons to play praetorians.

1.Very simple controls.
A beginner can easily learn the controls.A nice combination of mouse & keyboard controls give the player the free will to easily access all the areas to play the game in a fast yet accurate way.

2.Fast paced game.
No unnecessary delays caused in order to recruit troops & no additional buildings required for each troop. Also, one can control hundreds of troops at a time rather than a single one.The time required to recruit troops is also quite less.

3.Great graphics.
Graphics are excellent & yet the game is quite light on the system performance.

4.Well crafted single player missions.
Each of the single player missions are crafted to test the player’s capability to handle different situations with different types of resources at hand.The battles require a mix of pro active skills & opportunistic measures.The 3 levels, easy medium & hard, are a good way to test the skills of a player.

5.Outstanding multiplayer game.
Up to 8 players can battle it out in the multiplayer either as individuals commanding their own forces or they may team up.Great maps for multiplayer makes it a must play if you are a strategy gamer.

Praetorians - the best of the lot, Nov 01, 2009

by Manoj Roy (Agartala, India)

Praetorians, as a strategy game, scores over many in the genre due to its game speed. No unnecessary buildings required to recruit troops.
The single player missions are quite a battle. Good graphics make the game come to life. The great aspect of the game are its simplicity & flexibility. One can hope for the win till the very end. The skirmish & multiplayer matches can be turned on their heads because of the fast nature of the game.
Also, it is a lot less time consuming compared to others in the genre.
The multiplayer mode can be real fun when 2 or 3 teams face up against each other.  The 3 civilizations have their strengths & weaknesses but all are quite balanced overall. All in all, Praetorians is a nice combination of speed, tactics,absorbing gameplay & real fun.

One of the top games I have played, I haven’t seen any game since total war that uses terrain in such depth to create advantages and disadvantages. Well worth getting.

AWESOME!!, Jul 27, 2009

I absolutely love this game!!...The story line is very intriguing and even the mission briefings you watch before each mission add a whole new element to the game..I like how Praetorians adds the strategic landforms. EX/ if you place archers on top of a hill they have more range and do more damage etc. etc. I also like how the spearmen do more damage to cavalry and the archers to slow moving infantry…I like the defense towers and the strategic advantage they can give. Also, the mission maps are detailed enough. The game does not have the best graphics but they are good enough that you can tell what type of unit you selected and so on…also the map is quite large. The larger map gives more strategic options. I very much enjoyed Praetorians and bought it within hours of first playing it.

GREAT GAME, Jun 08, 2009

For all those out there that don’t want to take the meticulous job of setting your troops THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU.

It may not be the most graphical game in the book “as Rome:Total War” is, but it works GREAT on older systems I have been playing it for 4 years now and it’s still not old. Not much to worry about for building, ALL battle.
Also, the dynamics are very much like real battle, no food routes unfortunately, but spearmen do more bonuses against horsemen and stuff like that. You can play as Egyptians (MY Favorites) for nubian archers and camels :P, Gaul{barbarians}, and Romans which even have the tortoise formations. Good long campaign following a story line worth playing. I still from time to time LOVE playing the defense missions. And battling my buddies on the game over a network.. YES you can play over your own wireless network against each other, amazing for such an old game isn’t it :P. I would recommend it, A little Low for the original price BUT you cannot find it in stores anymore.

This is a really good strategy game. You have to know how to move your troops and you cannot rely on brute strength alone so when you buy the game you should always look for a way around your enemies defenses. This is all I can say on the game.

Why you should buy Praetorians, May 04, 2009

by Jzadek

Whether you are new to the RTS genre, or a long time veteran, this game has something for you. Personally, it was my first and it started an obsession with strategy. The gameplay is fun and involving, and the AI is surprisingly good. However, the fighting soldiers can often seem bland and mechanical, but despite this, the war itself relies on good use of tactics, and is definitely worth the price.
