Recensioni di Aggressors: Ancient Rome

Severely underrated.

I am lazy to make a full review. It has so nice ideas and other are not well implemented. Anyway totally recommended. Better than Civ 6 in many aspects.

Molto interessante la dinamica strategica che ti obbliga a pianificare tutto a turni, comprese le attività dietro le trincee. Molto articolato e interessante anche lo sviluppo e il trattamento delle truppe

First of all, please consider that I really love Civilization. I played with Civ6 something like 3000+ hrs and even more with Civ5. I play Civ since the first chapter and I love it so much. Second thing: I hate Europa Universalis. I tried to play with it about 10 hrs but no way, I can't stand it. I don't mean that Civ is wonderful and EU is awful, simply I like peaceful expansion (technology, economy, diplomacy) way more than war. I sent a lot of spaceships to Alpha Centaury without any battle. Ok, but what does this have to do with Aggressors? A lot. Since, to me, Aggressors is a beautiful mix between Civ and EU. But it's not just this. Aggressors introduces interesting new dynamics. One example: you can't simply go out exploring the whole word. First of all, if you go ahead with a military unit, you "conquer" the tile, expanding the borders of your empire, even if a city isn't nearby. But you can't go too far away from a city, since the support to the unit drops as you move away from the borders. So probably founding a new city near the border would be a good decision. But you can also improve your cities. Create palizade, philosophy school and so on. Then you can train a unit in a city adding it a lot of bonuses. Then there's the war. In Aggressors is quite impossible to live without it. But it's not as highly strategic and "invasive" as in EU, it's more like Civ, but even better. You can make enemy unit starve, so they could even join you. And you can play in a random (customizable) map! A must to me. Ok, unitl now I only played a few hours. But I can already say that this game deserves to be known and played much more than now. I love this kind of game, but Steam never proposed it to me. Why?

Molto bello, anche le mod non sono niente male.
