Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar

Overview

Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar brings a completely new 3D engine into the battle, allowing users to zoom in, out, and rotate the map for a better view of the battlefield. The artwork overhaul features over 100 different replicas of hand-painted miniatures, including the fearsome legions of Caesar himself. On the inside of the game the AI has been overhauled as well to support a variety of battle formations while the legions of Caesar have been expanded from the normal block of four units to a more powerful block of six. This allows you to replicate the power and strength the Roman legions possessed.

Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar manages to improve upon Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great in almost every area. Once again the AI provides a great challenge and strategy fans will love spending night after night trying to outwit such an impressive opponent.
