MASTERS EDITION
Be the ultimate Ruler of the known Ancient World with the Masters Edition of Field of Glory!
This Bundle allows you to integrate Field of Glory: Empires grand strategy layer with the tactical depth of Field of Glory II.
About the Game
Field of Glory II is a turn-based tactical game set during the Rise of Rome from 280 BC to 25 BC
The game that brought the fun and excitement of the tabletop experience to digital form is back. Developed by legendary designer Richard Bodley Scott in a completely new 3D engine, Field of Glory is ready to set new standards in computer wargaming.
Field of Glory II allows you to fight large or small battles for or against Rome, or between the other nations who are as yet unaware of the Roman threat, or what-if battles between nations that never actual came into conflict historically, but might have done if the course of history had been different.
Take command of a huge variety of armies employing vastly different tactical doctrines. Lead your chosen army and its named generals to victory in set-piece historical battles or "what-if" custom battle situations against an AI or human opponent.
Victory will require determination and tactical mastery!

This game may feel clunky at first, but it is a better portrayal of ancient tactical combat than any other game I've encountered. Formations matter. Classic strategies such as controlled withdrawal on one oblique while pushing heavily on the opposite flank works well. The quality of troops matters tremendously. The impact of ground quality on combat (especially phalanxes) was gratifying. The degree to which you lose control of your army as it engages is also realistic. I haven't seen any game quite manage this. The historically obsessed can always find places to nitpick, but this is really as good as you are likely to get with a game that also manages to be fun.
Needs a good zoom in feature; sometimes it's too easy to lose track of units once they get into melee. Other than that I like FOG 2 a lot. A vast improvement in graphics over the first version.
Really enjoying this one. The battles can be really tough and the AI is decent. The figures are nicely decorated (like playing proper tabletop wargames!) It feels fairly historical and realistic and the interaction of troop types, armour, weapons etc means you have to think carefully about where you commit your troops.
Reading historical accounts like Polybios helps too - cavalry fights are often long and stubborn affairs and if you can insert light infantry into the fight, especially on patches of rough going, their shooting and flank attacks can turn the tables.
nice
lowkey good.
The nearest thing to old-fashioned table-top slug fests, for the PC. And you haven't got to drive for hours to get home in the early hours when your done. Brilliant for this old man !!
great way to get into wargaming
If you're looking for a true wargame experience on PC, this is about as good as it gets. The manual is a bit intimidating, but if you're a boardgame wargamer, it should be somewhat intuitive. I started by playing the tutorial scenarios and was impressed by how much you can learn from that. I continued by playing some quick battles and from that have learned enough about the ancient British forces to feel that I am making tactical decisions and understanding the game. Highly recommend!
A really fun ancients Battler, the asych multiplayer works great!
the default camera is not optimal, it can be changed in the data folder but it is work
Could be better if the AI didn't blatantly cheat in their morale rolls.
Very enjoyable.
Amazing 10/10 turn based total war without the map. Just the battles. Far better than total war imho. It has alot more dice rolls and randomness which in turn makes it feel much more historically accurate. Also you aren't a telepath. Once your troops commit, they are commited, which again, feels more realistic.
Then you add in the FoG Empires game from Ageod, and suddently you have a game with limitless replayability. Empires isn't required, as out of the box FOG2 has a rediculous amount of content with skirmishes and the random campaign maker (random battles one after another.)
I could nitpick... but then I remember there is literally no other alternatives. You want Total War but turn based? This game is amazing. Lead armies, engage in 40+ minute battles. Buy Empires. Conquer the old world.
