Praetorians is a real-time strategy title which lets you take the reins during the glory years of the Roman Empire and Julius Caesar leads the Roman Army in Gaul.
The time: 59 BC. The place: Cisalpine Gaul, a peaceful Roman province. The stakes: the fate of the known world!
It is here, in this unassuming backwater of Roman-controlled territory, that you begin your quest to build a Roman Empire forged and strengthened in the fires of combat!
An excellent real-time strategy (RTS) game, Praetorians places you in command of the most feared troops ever seen in the ancient world, the Roman legions.
Will you become one of the greatest generals the world has ever known, or merely fade into the forgotten footnotes of history? Only time will tell!
In the campaign mode of Praetorians, you command the vast armies of Rome in 24 scenarios based on what really happened. F ight the same battles as Julius Caesar himself, he who brought the Roman Empire together by cold steel and sheer willpower!
The scenarios have varied objectives - defend against a siege, rescue an embattled ally, capture a certain town, and many others.
Praetorians' campaign mode combines a rich, detailed storyline with historically accurate missions to bring you a game experience which is truly unlike any other!
If the Roman campaign isn't enough for you, Praetorians also includes a Skirmish mode which lets you play not only as the Romans but also the Egyptians or the Barbarians, against up to 7 computer opponents on any of 16 maps.
Each civilization comes with 13 unique units for a ton of strategic variety! For a new challenge, take your skills online in epic 8-player battles!
Praetorians takes the focus away from tedious resource gathering and town building and places it on intense battle action!
Unlike some other RTS games, you won't be successful if you just throw all your units into battle without plans or tactics. Instead, you'll need to think about the balance of infantry, cavalry, archers, and siege weapons in your army, and how to use them to maximum effect.
Elevation also brings great advantages to those who have it, so make sure you hold the high ground because it could mean the difference between victory and defeat! Your road is long and arduous. It will take you through Gaul, Egypt, and Italy.
Nobody ever said building an empire was easy!
Praetorians fully immerses you in the ancient world. Travel to sandy deserts and beaches, icy mountainsides, dense forests, even the Egyptian Sphinx!
The game is full of visually stunning environments and scenes of epic battle action complete with armies, towns, and fortresses.
Fans of real-time strategy games, or of all things Roman: Praetorians is a game right up your alley.
New to the RTS genre? Praetorians will give you a great introduction to this whole new world of gaming!
Like Julius Caesar and his famous Roman legions, you too can live forever in the history books, only with Praetorians!

This game is the best of the best. The best part of this game is commanding a large army to attack enemy troops. It’s a great game and is mostly about strategy. I’ve bought this game and recommended it to my friends. We played each other. It’s fun playing it, but more fun with friends..!! I recommend it to anyon who likes a challenge and strategic gaming.

I have played pratorians a whole bunch of times I just love this game. I love it because I get to build a massive army to attack the other people with but sadly i cant afford to buy the game so i dont get to play a lot of it just the same missions but its fun to play it anyways.and I also like how the creators got the actual history right cus sometimes it wrong. Th is is game is the best game I have ever played and I reccomend it to kids and adults no matter what the age is. It was totaly worth the wate the whole version is totally worth the price. But like I said this is the best game I have ever played. And I really really want to win this 10 free games thing cause i play more than one thats on here n i would not let it go to waste.

It was a little complicated at first but thats mostly because i didn’t follow the tutorial but if you do its an amazing game and will provide you with thousands of hours of fun. A downside is it can get a little repetitive after playing for a while. But its worth the 7$.

This game is really good. The graphics are not the best but the action makes up for that. The strategy part is kind of brain challenging which is good. All in all, I would recommend the game for someone who likes to think things through before they act.
