Game Info Ancient Battle: Rome is the first in a series of stunning wargame simulations covering the Ancient Era. Ancient Battle: Rome is yet another classic iOS wargame from Hunted Cow and Hex War, the developers behind the top-selling iOS wargames Tank Battle: North Africa, Civil War: 1863 and Tank Battle: 1944. In Ancient Battle: Rome you are able to fight the battles between ancient Rome and its many opponents. Each campaign is themed around eight battles contesting a geographical region. The Roman legionary may well be the power unit of the period but all too often they are outnumbered by hordes of barbarians. The unique game system was designed by a team including a winner of the Ancients competition at the World Wargaming Championships. Designed from the ground up to give a unique wargaming experience on iPhone and iPad, players can use Roman legionaries, elephants, catapults, heavy and light cavalry, archers, slingers, fanatics, chariots and many more unit types to engage in classic battles. Included in the initial release is 'Caesars Campaign in Gaul' culminating in the classic siege of Alesia, and the campaign between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great. Players can also purchase an additional campaign of the invasion of Brittania with the highlight of Queen Boudicca's demise at the battle of Verulamum. Upcoming expansions will include the battle for Germany where the Romans lost three legions in the Teutoburger forest, the battles against Mithradates the Great in Pontus, and the infamous Parthia campaign where a whole Roman army perished in the desert. These later campaigns will also add fully armoured cataphracts, light cavalry archers, scythed chariots and the Greek Pike Phalanx to the game system.

You can play the opposite side in all the missions (except the tutorial). Normally the Barbarians, but there are also some Roman vs. Roman missions too
No hot seat multiplayer missions in the initial release, it is something we may add in a future update however We're also looking into possibly adding Game Center multiplayer too (again in a future update)
Ancient Battle: Rome looks like Hunted Cow Studios best release yet, come on August 2013! Wait... August starts tomorrow, well done!
If any of you are planning to come along to the Dare Indie Fest (the UK's largest video games indie festival) in the Caird Hall, Dundee, we'll be showcasing the game at our stand on the 9th, 10th and 11th August 2013 (10am to 5pm)
I think it's our best hex-based game yet - one cool new feature is the Combat Analysis which show you more details about the factors affecting the combat. (You can this feature on and off in the settings).
