The ‘Advanced Tactics’ DLC for Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caeser is out today and adds 6 all new-units to your mercenary army: including the Kush Archer, Parthian Cataphracts and Horse Archers, Berber Javelineer, Naked Skirmishers and Gallic Ambushers. The additional content makes use of the recently introduced ambush game feature that allows units to shroud themselves within the field of war, await the approaching enemy forces and seize the opportunity for an attack advantage.

My initial response when first playing Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar, was to compare it to the Total War series. However, after a short time with the game, despite some similarities, The Rise of Caesar shows some fresh takes on the strategy warfare genre, but also fails to display the kind of depth some might be looking for.
When and where ever Ceasar Rises I shall be there to burn him down.
Certainly NOT anywhere close to Total Rome but I may check it out.
Risen 3. And, the following is also a list of PC games released for the week of August 10th, 2014.
Critically Sane: "Hegemony Rome is, at its core, a standard RTS game. You gather resources to build units, and use those units to conquer your opponents. Your empire is based around cities, which you link to logging camps, mines, and food sources to get the necessary material to power your empire. Zooming out on the map will take you to a sort of boardgame map, where units and held locations are represented by miniatures. Zooming in gets you a more standard view of the actual items, but that zoomed out view is necessary for much of the logistical management in the game. You see, all supplies flow on routes which you plot from point to point in your empire. This means that keeping these routes clear (and obstructing enemy supply routes) is a key element to the game."
