This depicts the Roman era very good, almost too good. Though some stuff in the game could be changed, it's really quite good. The battles are the highlight of the game I must say. The campaign map is real cool and there's a lot of stuff to do with each faction. I always have to use the cheat that gets you more money because its impossible to not to go bankrupt for some reason. But other than that it's cool! There are a lot of factions to control, like the Franks, the Saxons, the Roman Empire (east and west), the Vandals, the Goths, and many more! I really didn't play this game as much as others. I had fun though. The game is pretty hard for beginners and it was hard for me. I got over it! The graphics are pretty good and so is the landscape and building design. If you ever want to have a really dramatic battle with troops deserting; mass murder; giant elephants; trebuchets that are annihilating enemy formations and causing panic. Then you should play this game! One of the best RTS games I've played.
