Any games that set in Ancient Rome but not Real Time Strategy, Turn Based Strategy, or City Builder?

he probably means origins but it's only a very small portion of the game towards the end

Oh the Colosseum part? Yeah, it was beautiful level. Shame it's an AC game.

I would love to Dishonored-type of game in Ancient Rome

Elder Scrolls if you squint hard enough.

SPQR

>All you had to do was follow the damn horsecart, Carlus Johnsonus !
Worst dev studio, no thanks

Might as well play Oblivion, choose Imperial race, steal guards armor, and pretend to be travelling Legion soldier

hmm, hadn't considered it would be made by rockstar, that would probably ruin it

Not exactly Rome but check out Age of Decadence. It is basically the Roman Empire crossed with Fallout.

>Turn Based Strategy

I was excited when Sony announced they were bringing Ps2 games to Ps4. Shadow of Rome never made it.

It is an RPG

>Iit's a "dude why is egypt and rome/greece so underrated a sa setting lol " episode

It's underrated in the sense that fantasy, modern day shit, medivial europe, vikings, and fuedal japan are all way way more popular then it and other historical settings and make up like 99% of vidya

but once you remove those and look at the historical settings left, it and Egypt is one of if not the most common. If you want ACTUAL underused, equally to more interesting settings that still have complex civilizations, there's so many more. Even just the ones pre: 16th century, there's:

>1000 years of pre-classical history with the Minoans and Mycenaeans,
>5000 years in the Fertile Crescent, from bronze age city-states like Sumer, Iron age sates like Assyria, the Persian Empire and various Medieval Caliphates
>4000 years in India/South Asia, from the Indus River Valley civilization, the Vedic civilization, and then various empires and kingdoms like the Maurya, Gupta, etc,
>3500 years in East Asia, from China's Shang Dyasty , Unification under the Ming, the 3 kingdoms, subsequent reunification and splits, ancient and medieval korea, pre-fuedal japan etc
>2800 years in Mesoamerica from the early Olmec cities and the spread of civilization in the preclassic, the prominence of Teotihuacan & Golden age of the Maya and the Zapotec during the classic, the Mixtec and Toltec succeeding the Zapotec and Teotihuacan in the early postclassic, and the rise of the Aztec empire in the Toltec's stead and their rivalrly with the Purepecha empire in the late Postclassic
>1500 years in the Andes, from Moche city-states, the Nazca, etc during the early intermediate, the Tiwanku and Wari Empires during the Middle Horizon, the Sican & Chimu kingdom in the late intermediate, and the domination by the Inca empire during the late Horizon
>1500 years in Southeast asia due to influence from India, such as the Khmer & Suhkothai
>1500 in West Africa due islamic influence, such as the Malil, Songhai, etc

>the 3 kingdoms
Search KOEI and their main franchise

>not liking columns

>dare to be different
>get told to get back in line
eat my asshole with a spoon buddy

>PS2 and GameCube both had Colosseum
>two totally different games

You're thinking about Ealing, user

I doubt some of these liked columns - it was likely moreso a necessity for some

a lot of the aztec architecture reminds me a lot of ancient greek/roman style

ROMANES EUNT DOMUS

But most of those periods are vague and lacking in primary sources

There's plenty of records for Mesopotamia, India/South Asia, China, and the Aztec speffically; it's just they are obscure to most english speakers due to not being taught much about and/or no english translations existing.

Romani ite domum

to clarify on Aztec sources a bit:

Yes, the Spanish mass burned the books and libraries of the Aztec and other Mesoamerican civilizations, t the pinto where we only have a dozen or so surviving pre-contact books; but there's hundreds of colional era documents in both spanish and nahuatl (aztec) describing Aztec society and history in great detail. Sahagun's history for instance is like 2000+ pages of detailed information on daily life, government organization, culture, and general society; from judicial systems to merchantry to medicine, while Duran's history is a similar work but detailing their history, down to specific statements made by specific political officials, see pic. There's enough that there's been entire books written about specific political officials, like "Allure of Nezahualcoyotl" and "Tlaclelel remebered".

As far as other civilizations, For the Maya there's doizens of cities with surviving stone inscriptions detailing important political events, such as births and deaths of rulers, alliances, wars, etc which can be pretty informative when cross referenced; albiet they are in a rather dry "On X date Y happened" fashion; and the Mixtec have 8 surviving books which gives similar political historical records (rather then being divinatory documents like most of the other surviving books for the other civs) going back 800 years across dozens of cities. Others like the Purepecha (who are really underrated), Totonacs, etc are in much more precarious spots with only a few colional era aztec-esque sources and that's it, but even just that + archeology can tell quite a bit.

Would it be great if we had thousands of surviving books? Of course, but we still know and can learn a ton. The problem is moreso public awareness and translating shit into other languages so more people can learn it.
