Field of Glory II

Field of Glory II is a deep turn-based tactical strategy game centered around ancient warfare, especially during the rise of Rome between 280 BC and 25 BC. 🧠 What I think works really well 🔥 Historical depth & variety – You can command many different armies (Romans, Carthaginians, Gauls, Greeks, Parthians and more) with historically accurate unit types and formations. ⚔️ Tactical battles – Battles feel smart and require real strategy — positioning, flanking, terrain and unit choice matter. 📜 Campaign & custom scenarios – There are set historical battles you can replay and also “what-if” custom battles with a random map generator. 🧩 Hard but satisfying – When you learn how the systems work, winning feels great because success really depends on your decisions. 🌍 Great replay value – With many factions, units, and a built-in editor, you can keep creating new battles. 💬 Community praise – The game has “Very Positive” user reviews overall, showing a lot of fans enjoy it. ❌ What I found less enjoyable 📚 Hard to get into – It’s not a casual game — learning the rules and tactics can be overwhelming at first. 🎮 Not flashy visually – The graphics and sound are functional but not modern or exciting. 🤝 Needs patience and strategy – If you like fast-paced action instead of thoughtful strategy, it might feel slow and “boring”. 🧾 Overall thoughts For me, Field of Glory II feels like a true strategy game — not something anyone can pick up and instantly love, but a very satisfying experience if you enjoy smart, slow tactical warfare and deep historical battle simulation. I’d say it’s a great fit for fans of classic wargames and turn-based tactics, but maybe not the best choice for players looking for quick action or easy gameplay.

Good game other than the fact that the light troops are far too powerful
