Oh hell yeah....a dream come true...I'd preorder, buy multipacks, give away a few copies to friends and relatives....It would be awsome....especially....
If they created better naval combat; combined Greek city states and early Rome...
Ill crosspost from other topic:
"Did someone play boardgame "Republic of Rome"?
The game runs the players against eachothers as well as getting them to unify their power to figh foreign elements that can ruin them all...(like, getting three simultaneous wars which destroys Roma instantly).
The boardgame had million of options for Senate fights, assasinations being the least likely, but framing people for other things, exiling them as governors of newly acquired barbaric provinces,cheating your way into offices, residing over courts and ruling the republic.......
...revealing their opponents corruptness.....
arranging assasination and getting away with it in courts of law...
I would dearly love to see interactive Senate with political fights and political scheming enabling some to win what they couldn't on the field of battle and vice versa....
Also, bringing civilisation into barbaric provinces, introducing new laws etc....that would be awsome....
imagine playing multiplayer with republican dynasties vying for real and imaginative power all over Roman world.....maybe even MP coop as Roma against the world
