ROME 78 B.C (Demo)
BY ANNODOMINIUS

VISIT THE WEBSITE

It's the year 78 B.C and Sulla, one of the most dangerous and powerful men Rome has ever seen, has died in his country manor. For some,
Sulla's reign brought wealth and prosperity to their lives, to many more it brought death, humiliation and exile. One such exile, by the name of Gaius Julius Caesar, had been living in a lifestyle not equal to his birth but now, with Sulla dead and his faction divided, Caesar can return to home and build his political career. The time has come for a new Rome to emerge, and Caesar is determined to be the one who makes it happen.

You take control of Julius Caesar in his quest to establish a name for himself in political Rome. You must use whatever resources are available to you in order to climb the senatorial ladder and become dictator for life, whether that be by subtle coercion or brute force is up to you. Form alliances with other factions, hire assassins to kill off your opposition, launch electoral campaigns and much more as you progress through 20 years of toil to reach your goal.

There's no need to be rude about it, much better to let the author know where the problem is and what exactly happened. There seems to be some sort of technical issue going on but only some people are experiencing it. I want to try and fix it and I can only do that with your constructive help.

@ Sniper1988: Thankyou for your review. I will take your bug reports and try and make sure they don't occur in the final version. Your comments are however, a bit on the short side, if you could give examples of why you rated in certain areas and not higher or lower and what could be improved upon, besides the technical issues, that would be great. Also, you've rated a 5 for story and instructions however the rating given is a 4. Could you correct this or correct the written review to reflect the lower rating. Thanks again :)

I know this sounds like a noobish question, but where is Julius Caeser? I've tryed to play it about three times and everytime he's not there. Can you please help because it looks too awesome not to play!

If Julius Caesar isn't there then it is probably because the mod isn't installed correctly. You will need to install the mod into your protox file. If you've never installed a mod before this is probably the reason you're having difficulties.

Here is a guide on how to install mod units using the protox.xmb, go to Centurion_13's first reply:
