  In case its not obvious - I have played this game for a long time before its Steam release. This is a brilliant strategic wargame available at a ridiculously low price. I have lost many a glorious hour in the maps and stat screens and menus of this game, now its finally on Steam. If the strategic aspects of Roman warfare, such as logistics, army movement, stances and numbers appeal to you; if you were disappointed by the lack of strategic depth and authenticity in Total War Rome 2 or the shallow military aspects of EU Rome; you owe it to yourself to give this game a try. Actually at this price... any strategy gamer should give this game a try. AGEOD veterans will be right at home. Others may need to look at a few Youtube tutorials and playthroughs. You can also look at some AARs for learning all the epic things you can do in this game - http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?549151-AGEOD-AAR-s-Index&p=12638919&viewfull=1#post12638919 http://www.ageod-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?316-AJE-Alea-Jacta-Est-AARs&s=212e1b7c016ec2c8ff956162479afd10&sort=replycount&order=desc Cheers!

  Total War: Rome II is fine for the plebeian masses, but for the true Romanophile there is Alea Jacta Est. Not only does it include some of the more popular conflicts such as Caesar's civil war and the slave revolt of Spartacus (DLC), but also has some of lesser known internal struggles like Marius vs. Sulla, and the year of the four emperors (my personal fav). For those who have never played an AGEOD game before the learning curve may be a little steep, though not nearly as bad as some of the more complicated grand strategy games out there (I'm looking at you HoI3!) So, if you're a fan of Roman history like I am, and are looking for something with a little more depth than, 'march army here, capture city,' this is the game for you!

  Alea Jacta Est as an idea for a game is a good one In execution it needs a lot of work The game suffers from slow run time and an annoying habit of crashing and at times the game simply doesn't register my commands and i have to click multiple times before it gets the message (although this cold just be the slow runtime) The gameplay could be interesting if I knew what was going on as the tutorial does a very poor job of explaining how battles work and tells you nothing at all about the units (ie what there stats mean, what different units are good for etc) from what i can gather it seems that armies have a power score based on their units and health (possibly morale too) and this combined with the general and terran will determine the outcome of a battle it feels like a more complex and interesting version of the battle system in crusader kings or EU (which is good cause both those games need a better system for battles) and I feel that if I could just figure out what to do (and have the game run well enough to have the chance to do it) It would be very deep and challenging and a lot of fun. As it stands now I wont recommend this game, give it a few months to sort itself out and wait for another steam sale by then hopefully it will be running well enough to be some real fun.

  I am a fan of historical wargames and obtuse strategic simulations, so I picked this up on sale. Generally speaking it has all of the necessary components for a historical wargame. The battles themselves are quite hands off, the game focuses on the logistics leading up to a battle and then the calculations are made. It seems reasonably well researched, though it's more of a spreadsheet than an immersive experience as a Roman general/politician/powerbroker. However, what leads me to caution others about the game is the extremely poor optimization. The load times are bad, things get kind of choppy and unresponsive, and it just makes the whole experience a drag. You know this game is going to be a time investment to learn, and that poor optimization is going to drag the whole experience down as it aggregates. In this day and age, the discerning wargamer doesn't mind playing a game that could have been made in 1994, but it is expected to run fast and stable. As such, I cannot reccomend this game, unless you are an absolute fanatic of either Roman History or historical wargames. I will happily change my review to a reccommend if they improve the optimization. Until then, stay away, especially at retail price.

  Sorry guys, I wanted to like this game. If I ever learn it, I may even still. However, the game is not for me. Overly complicated management systems are fine when they are less obfuscated. The tutorial teaches you the very basics, and then you are thrown into a set up limited turn scenario where you cannot waste turns figuring things out. I cannot figure out how the economy works. Some of that may just be that I am currently playing multiple games and don't want to spend the hours trying to learn it. There are only a couple lets plays, and they move pretty quickly and either don't explain, or spend 15 minutes explaining the history of a feature in Roman civilization rather than how it functions in game. I get it, some REALLY love Rome. I enjoy but not on that level. Basically, I learned the paradox games no problem, but this one remains vague. To top it off, the game engine is a pig. You resolve a turn, and the game basically freezes until you get to a battle screen. Turns take 30 seconds to a minute depending. I hear that the game this engine is from "Pride of Nations" was much worse. I really want to try the Civil War 2 game based on the engine, I am just afraid at that price that I won't be able to learn it. I have limited gaming time these days with kids/wife etc, and don't want to spend a week of gaming time learning a system. The game looks nice, although I have to play in in a crappy low res because the ffonts are so small I couldn't read it. The game is all about reading text and figures, and I couldn't. Not only size, but the particular font didn't blend well with the backgrounds thru my tv. I play paradox games at 1080 with no problem, so I'm not exactly blind. I applaud the developers, and I'm sure there is a really nice game here. For me, as a moderate wargame tactical fan, it is just too much when coupled with the bad UI and long turns that you cant even scroll the map during. If I ever find the impetus to learn the game and put some time into it, I may change my vote. Not bad, but not for everyone. Romanophiles and serious warsim people may enjoy a bit more, or if you have some experience with the engine, which I do not.

  This game is a true gem in multiplayer, but the AI is not worth a dime. I would say, it is the best game of the Roman period on a strategic and operational scale. The standalone titles are pretty nice, especially BoR and PAR. Supply routes and weather conditions are substantial part of the the game, the command chain is well done and leader abilities can change the course of war. Where light is , there is shadow. The worst on this game is the unstable engine, especially, if you run other programms in the backround. Furthermore you can search a long time for opponents, if you don't register in Ageod's Forum, which can be difficult, because there are constantly error messages, when I have tried to register and wrote four damn letters to them, but they don't give a fuck about it, so I would suggest, you better try to register BEFORE you buy this game, because once you learned it, the AI will be no challenge and no fun at all and if you don't know anyone, who play it, you find yourself in a ugly situation. What is the final score? I would give the game 8/10 ( 10-2 points because of stability issues) and 0/10 for Ageod Forum. Since it is concerning the game, because there is no pbem server, I would take it in the multiplayer part and my final rating is 8/20.

  The engine is slow...never quite sure if the game has froze or still loading. the turns are slow and laggy. The game play its self is poor. Unless you like a laggy game that constantly over rides your orders and does what it wants anyway then hands you your ass the moment you start to turn things around this game isn't for you. I have invested enough hours to assess this game as a boat anchor.

  A good game. But if you arent a real wargamer, and have no experience, you are going to shy away from it. Dont be intimidated. It is worth learning to play. All in all, a solid release from Ageod, from whom one expects greatness.

  Bought the game, played for three hours and despite an i7 processor and SSD this game ran at a 'steady' 5 FPS making it an unforgettably horrific experience. A pity... because this is a great game with a lot to offer strategy fans. Hopefully will be fixed in the future in which case I'll gladly buy it again, but in this state it's unplayable.

  One of the best war strategy games that has a great deal of focus on realism over the otehr arcadey stuff. Tough to get into. I myself played it and abandoned it lots of times (been playing a non steam version for the past 3 years). Howver, the developers dont really support the old games when the new AGEOD titles come out. Thus, dont expect paradox/taleworlds kind of mod support or dev support. This is the only dissapointement. THe developers actually make no attempts to make it more enjoyable for th community. They probably believe that people who're hooked into strategy wargaming to this level of realism (I havent found anything more "real" till date) have no option but to eat out of their hands.
