Man of the Hour

A Roman civil war RTS

Man of the Hour is a PC RTS-roguelike set during Rome’s Year of the Four Emperors. The Emperor is dead, a Pretender holds the throne, and generals are marching on Rome. You lead one of those armies, managing a campaign across the empire and commanding squads in real-time battles.

Campaigns begin in Britannia, Aegyptus or Asia. Each day, you choose whether to scout, forage or press onward, balancing supplies against the risk of desertion. At borders, you pick a route. Events along the way include omens, bribes, shut gates, sandstorms and requests from senators. The commander you send to handle an event can affect its outcome.
