https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lo ... e-ancientsLong before the conquests of Philip and Caesar, the untamed hills of ancient Italy were a battleground of cultures from the Celts and Etruscans in the north to the Greeks and Samnites in the south. Caught in the middle, a burgeoning young city-state called Rome - poised to become the next great power if it can fend off the ambitions of its powerful neighbours.
Hegemony III is a 3D Real Time Strategy (RTS) wargame for Windows PC set during the tumultuous period of Rome's birth where ancient civilizations battle to forge the next great empire.
Building further upon the features that make the series unique, Hegemony III is big maps and grand strategy, real history and battlefield tactics, supply lines and raiders. All playing out in a single seamless world where you can instantly jump from a naval blockade to an epic field battle all while directing your scouts to burn down enemy farms in paused or real-time.
Hegemony III uses our latest engine to bring back classic Greek hoplites to battle early Roman legions in a hybrid sandbox combining historical battles with open-world strategy. Building off almost a year's worth of updates to the Hegemony Engine, Clash of the Ancients includes further improvements to the AI and rendering system, an all new interface and a lot more.
