In fact, the game is known as Celtic Kings: Punic Wars outside of North America. As such, it's not too radical of a departure from the original game, but Nemesis does add a pair of new races--the Carthaginians and Iberians--to double the number of playable races from the original game. In a technical sense, the game's presentation is its weakness--unit models and sound are primitive by today's standards. But the game's ability to render a huge battle map and let you instantly jump from one end to the other while tracking hundreds of units is quite impressive. It gives the game an epic scale, which is important because the capture and control of towns and territory are key components to the gameplay

Though buildings and towns are not destructible in Nemesis, you'll need to capture them and establish logistical supply lines to your primary town in order to keep up a steady flow of gold and food to feed your army. You'll also have to be sure to protect these supply lines, because your army's ability to fight hinges on a steady supply of food. Aside from this interesting mechanic, Nemesis sets itself apart with great enemy AI that doesn't appear to cheat. You'll see enemy scout forces probing your borders for the best place to attack and executing advanced tactics like feints and harassing charges.

If you're interested in a classical-era strategy game that offers unique gameplay mechanics, lengthy campaigns, and a great skirmish mode, Nemesis of the Roman Empire should be right up your alley.
