Why are there no good games set in the Roman Empire? It features in a lot of strategy games, but as for real games the only one I can think of at the moment is Ryse Son of Rome and that sucked.

Because there is not a thing virtuous about the ROMAN people.
They were educated murderers.
They believed in a doctrine culture that would be considered savage today.
They had no value of the lives of their fellow man
They were highly degenerate falling for the human frivalties of lust and homosexuality.
It was a brutal meritocracy that ruined the working man, outpraised it's military standing, and eventual Military Autocracy, and collapsed multiple times under the rule of glutonous tyrants.
The only thing they ever contributed was the standard of law.
>but muh architecture
Greek, Phoenicians and Egyptians had any of their marvels for hundreds and thousands of years.
>muh military tactics
Outdated
>muh national pride
I'd rather have pride in a shitbin than to ever have pride in being a Roman.
The real question you should be asking is "Why are there no games based around Ancient China?"

>meritocracy
will someone tell me what is wrong with this?

Meritocracy does not exist, no one is rewarded for working their ass off, you're rewarded for supplying demands
James Russell
You didn't think hard enough.

Darwinist ideology over attempting to compensate for everyone is what leads to the lower class obliterating the bourgeoisie
Robert Rodriguez
Op is a patented plebian for implying that meritocracy ruined the Republic when in reality the Roman Military machine attained it's superiority because promotions were based on merit not social standing.

No, I'm just proud of how far humanity has come from that barbarity and look boldly towards the future.
Christian Morris
If I dare say it, the history is repeating itself and we are Romans.
Jordan Russell
Well, at least you didn't have to respond to any of his actual arguments
Lincoln King
Wrong
Julian Hall
Because actual Roman culture is extremely alien compared to ours (no matter what your political stance is).
They also made the case for "absolute over-the-top violence and slaughtering those who are different make for a sturdy, happy and long-living civilization", which is definitively not something certain people want to push nowadays.
It kinda like setting a game during the transition between the Weimar Republic and pre-war Hitler's Reich. Lot of uncomfortable "shit it's actually a good thing to do that ?" moments.

It is very obvious, we are living in a very bloated society with priorities all fucked up. Look at game industry, AAA studios spewing literal shit for a while now, with game and golden era for indie titles.
We live in the fall of Rome times.
Jack Hill
Based, I for one am glad to have lived to experience the much more influential, civilized, and accomplished American Empire. Fuck Europe and fuck the Ancients. They ain’t got shit on us.
Colton Anderson
Why's everyone going to be retarded when it comes to discussing Rome?
Rome fell because they were overwhelmed by stronger enemies on every side, not because they were "decadent" or some shit.
The Byzantine empire was PEAK decadence and they lasted another 1000 years.

>Rome fell because they were overwhelmed by stronger enemies on every side,
Ackchyually, Rome fell because of many social factors literally *forcing* it to expand it's frontiers every year.
Except technological progress in logistic and communication just couldn't follow fast enough, making them overwhelm-able by minor troubles spread across their domain.
Give the Roman empire WWI-level trucks and radios, they could have kept going for a thousand years at least.

Shhhh mutt you are nothing, you have no history, no heritage, nothing, just the luck there were no relevant wars inside your territory.

Expanding it's frontiers? Didn't the romans just shove a fuckton of foederati into their border provinces? The Roman Empire was doing very well at it's largest extent. I'd say the fact that the entire roman army was made up of barbarians was a big factor. They didn't fight for rome, just for money. It was only a matter of time before they didn't care enough to fight for the empire and joined the barbarians. That, plus economic decline (inflation etc), retarded emperors, massive movement of peoples and the vanishing of the military advantages rome once had (larger and more disciplined armies than the barbarians; the romans could no longer play with the tribal rivalries as they had done for centuries) caused the fall of the western half.
The roman empire did survive another thousand years in the east. Rip 1453
you don't get to keep your empire for a 1000 years if you are decadent. ...granted, it wasn't exactly intact for parts of those 1000 years
that's why Americans are always like ''I'm 1/6th polish, 1/6th italian, 1/3rd german and 1/3rd irish''. Very cute
Because romans were absolutely brutal bitches and it wouldn't work with modern day culture. Also most people think history is lame

How does any of the things you listed not sound interesting for the setting of a game to you?
Murder, power and debauchery, what more could you possibly want?
