Think <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/long-live-the-queen-review\/\">Long Live the Queen<\/a> if it had a lot more die rolls. The whole thing is divided into phases. Once you&#8217;ve designed your centurion\u2014was he directly commissioned or promoted from the ranks, what are his stats like, what positions did he serve in his first three years\u2014you start out mostly relaxed in camp.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of this brief respite, you have to decide what to do with your precious time, and your men&#8217;s. Administration needs doing, the men need training in multiple different things, discipline needs maintaining, the latrines need cleaning, and along the way narrative events pop up that let you make choices about who you are your relationship to the men. Do you let a legionary slack off for 50 sestertii or give him a flogging? That kind of thing. Focusing on any set of skills and responsibilities means letting something else go slack, and trying to do it all will either do it poorly or grind your men down to exhausted dust.<\/p>\n<p>It is crunchy and stat-heavy in a complex, board-gamey way. Sweat beads on your forehead as you hit &#8216;next turn&#8217; and your men&#8217;s talents in sword, shield, and discipline inch up, decimal by decimal. But what if they need to huck some javelins? What if they&#8217;re called on for engineering? It&#8217;s all one big game of opportunity cost, and before long you&#8217;re on the march anyway. That&#8217;s where you get into the other bit of the game: combat, both individual and between your men and other units.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rd8B422SorTd9foHW28tWA\" name=\"20250221135440_1\" alt=\"Progress on building fortifications measured by a wheel.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/i-got-murdered-by-the-ancient-swiss-in-this-life-sim-about-being-julius-caesars-top-guy-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Alessandro Roberti)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That&#8217;s a messy numbers game too\u2014a question of selecting your men&#8217;s fighting style and rolling the dice against your enemies, desperately trying to break their cohesion and send &#8217;em scattering. I thought I was doing quite well at this\u2014my men had spent pretty much all 10 turns at camp drilling discipline and sword and shield, which made them hard to break and a monstrous melee presence.<\/p>\n<p>But then the enemy\u2014a bunch of Helvetii barbarians\u2014flung a load of javelins at us, which I really wasn&#8217;t prepared for, and I found myself pulled into single combat with a light infantryman. The screen switched from an overview of my century as a whole to the moment-to-moment scrabble of my avatar against this bolshy barbarian. Fat lot of good my elite Roman training did me then.
