6Centurion: Defender of Rome is a turn-based strategy game that includes real-time land and naval battle sequences. You start with one legion and use diplomacy and your military to take over the known world. Perform chariot races to raise extra money. I enjoy the aestetics and light casual nature of it's presentation however it is missing a lot of things keeping it from being a great strategy game. Triggering diplomatic options at the right time requires choices that are neither intuitive nor logical. Getting good at chariot races is vital at higher difficulty levels in order to get the money you need however that is incredibly difficult even on low difficulty levels.
