    What makes Nemesis of the Roman Empire truly stand out, however, is the artificial intelligence. On the easy mode, it's a breeze and presents very little challenge. On the tougher levels, it's a real bear that is sure to give veteran real-time strategy gamers a tough test.

    While on the surface Nemesis offers features we've seen many times before in the genre, such as hero characters and a lack of base-building, it also includes a clever logistics model and better-than-average artificial intelligence to help it stand apart from the numerous RTS clones on the market.

    There is plenty to enjoy in this game, especially if multi-tasking on a visual level doesn't intimidate. A nice strategic offering.

    By no means a perfect game, but it's definitely a breath of fresh air within the RTS scene. [June 2004, p.136]

    If you are in the mood for battle and fancy rallying against the might of Rome or Carthage then you could do a lot worse than this challenging effort.

    I applaud the developer for trying to do some new things in the resource-gathering arena and making good strides at giving the game depth.

    The truly shocking thing about Nemesis is that it is, for all intents and purposes, identical to "Celtic Kings," with the only noticeable improvement being the name. [July 2004, p.64]

    Same as the prequel, but it offers two more nations - Iberians and Carthagians.

However, this game offers some civilizations, such as the Iberians, that no other game features. The core to this game is how good the AI commanders are. Worth buying, but not worth getting to excited about.… Expand
