FoGE is a novel historical strategic game in a few senses. It gives a strong role to culture, creating strongly asymmetric factions with distinct units, buildings, and bonuses -- even at the expense of balance. Some factions will never be able to build the top-end army units, and some of them (I'm looking at you, Greek's with access to the stoa) have unique factional structures that are strongly superior to every other faction in the game. Second, the build system is randomized, in the sense that you can't pick any structure, but are given a list of options. You can continually reroll the options on the build list, but this requires a full turn and wastes resources. The result is a sometimes frustrating process of being unable to get the one building you need, but it also helps to make each city unique and distinctive, and promotes specialization. It also makes for varied decisions, as each building's value shifts situationally in ways that make for endless permutations of interesting short-list decisions, rather than one global optimized build queue -- This one, or this other one?! Once you accept this, the other novel feature of the game is the concept of an unavoidable time-dependent cycle of power. Factions advance and regress through various states of political development, and as nations accumulate "age" (an in-game attribute that can be changed or reset by various events) they can become old and penalized in ways that make it hard to avoid fracture and collapse. On the easier settings, this mostly affects the AI, and players can avoid age-related collapse. On the highest difficulty settings, human players become substantially challenged to advance and AI factions are stabilized. Empire size is a huge factor in these calculations, and trying to create a massive "blob" empire that spans the map will make for a difficult process in managing the decadence statistic that drives old empires toward collapse. Graphics are minimal, making the game a retro and low-frills experience, but the gameplay systems are solid and based on diminishing returns formulas that result in constantly varying challenges. The combat system can be integrated with Field of Glory's tactical engine, allowing for any interesting and balanced battles to be played out in full detail as a mini-game (though not, alas, in the multiplayer version of the game). The multiplayer game is highly skewed toward diplomatic strategies rather than military conquest, and most games can be won with the simple strategy of "grind favor with large factions and use diplomacy to buy their territories". There are no geographic restrictions on this, resulting in weirdly ahistorical outcomes like "the Gauls purchase large portions of Persia and eastern India". This is also true in any multiplayer game where a large faction's player suddenly quits, creating a desperate feeding frenzy where all allies try to buy up the most valuable territory rapidly ("Egypt quit, quick, buy the pyramids!"). Reducing the power of diplomacy would go a long way toward making the game feel more authentically like Rome sequentially conquering its neighbors. Overall, this is a uniquely satisfying game with a "cycle of empires" mechanic that creates the real feel of empires rising and then collapsing if they become arrogant and expand aggressively -- the AI empires on easy settings and yours on the harder ones! This makes for a more varied and unpredictable experience than the linear or exponential power curve of other similar games.

Great game. Kicks my rear on a regular basis. Not sure why I consider this a relaxing game; but it is very fun. I haven't grasped all the mechanics yet, since FOG:E is complex. Perhaps being more aggressive would work better than my typical passive-waiting-building style. Either way, the game is well done and a joy for someone like me who is looking for a really strong computer to play against. I'd recommend it, especially whenever you can get it during a sale event!

Exceptionally good game! I would go so far as to say one of the grand strategy games of all time. The economy, decisions, military, empire building is top notch. The game uses the pops and economic building as the part of the main drivers. It is fun simple more clear control than other grand strategy. The economic building is has a card draw like mechanic but allows you to shuffle for one turn if you are looking for particular building.

Do you like painting maps? Do you like excel sheets? Do you like tabletop games and rolling dice? Look no further. This is an amazing game, highly recommended if you like empire building and managment. It's a nuanced and balanced, turn based, grand strategy game, with a learning curve rewarded with layers and layers of depth. Unlike other "map painting games", FoG Empires includes a "decadence" mechanic, that will punish you from expanding into zones that don't share your culture, so you'll have to carefully plan and think your expansion strategy. This doesn't mean you can't snowball, Rome, Macedonia or Persia (if you own the DLC) can expand rapidly, but you'll still need to plan and pace it right. You can also win the game by developing your economy and culture, and building specific milestones, so you don't need to be a warring monarch. Combat is great, but not for everyone, I guess. Combat is the most tabletop-like part of the game, as you'll have a number of "duels" between the opposing armies, and each "duel" will have the unit's stats added to dice rolls. You have a lot of control over it though, as your army's composition and width, as well as the terrain, are key to winning battles, and I've never felt the RNG to be too unfair. Alternatively, you have the option of playing out the battles in Field of Glory II, and I have to say that's great , as you can pass from the grand strategy control of your armies to a tactical, unit by unit control. Having said that, FoG II is also a quirky, turn based, tabletop like game, so it might not fit everyone's taste. The diplomacy, legacy and trade mechanics are interesting and deep, but I needed to watch a couple of yt guides to get the hang of them (check out Sampstra Games). But once you do, it only makes the game more interesting and the planning you need to do more intricate and nuanced. Many reviews compare this game to Paradox Interactive titles, but I find it closer to other turn base strategy games, having mechanics that remind me of Masters of Orion 2 (population managing) or Shadow Empire (having card game like mechanics). Lastly, the game runs perfectly in Linux via Wine/Proton. You need to run a small script to create symlinks for the FoG II integration to work, it's on the ProntonDB page for the game.
