This game is a remake of the 1984 classic that was part of Milton Bradley'sGamemaster Series. In this game you are one of many Roman generals vying for power in Imperial Rome, employing legions, cavalry, and catapults to reach your objectives.
This version of the game has two sets of rules, one set similar to the original version (except that it has fixed the broken catapult rules) and an original set of rules based on Martin Wallace'sStruggle of Empires.
Summarized and clarified rules for retreat (from rules and FAQ, with a few minor changes), modified recruiting (placement limits and chaos), minor provinces (add an influence token for each one), and senators and senate voting.
This rewrite of the CotE Classic rules incorporates the cards provided for CotEII into Classic play, and reinvents the turn-based play, transforming it into a "Diplomacy"-esque order writing and semi-simul move resolution system. The game moves much faster and is far more dynamic. I'll gladly answer questions or provide clarification, just message me.
