Field of Glory – Rise of Rome Now
Available

More units, new battles, an
exciting new Digital Army Generator now available from Matrix Games!

Matrix Games and Slitherine
Strategies are thrilled to release Field of Glory – Rise of Rome, the much
anticipated expansion to their hit ancient warfare strategy game!

Please note: Field of Glory – Rise
of Rome REQUIRES ownership of the original full Field of Glory game. Also please
note that the Matrix Games and Slitherine editions are identical and no
differences exist between the two.

David Heath, Director of Operations
at Matrix Games, said “Rise of Rome greatly expands and improves the famed Field
of Glory system. Both existing fans and people still on the fence about Field of
Glory should have a look at the Rise of Rome expansion because there’s plenty of
ancient warfare goodness to be had!”

Based on Slitherine’s popular
tabletop wargaming system by the same name, Field of Glory now comes to the PC
in a faithful adaptation of this acclaimed miniatures wargame! Without the
calculations and measurements required for a tabletop game of Field of Glory,
the PC version accurately represents ancient and medieval combat where you make
the important and fun decisions on the battlefield.

Field of Glory – Rise of Rome is the
first expansion pack for Field of Glory, bringing tons of new content and
features in addition to a comprehensive Digital Army Generator (DAG). The DAG
allows you to design armies to a specific number of points and then take these
armies in to single player against the AI or online in multiplayer. Making its
first ever appearance on a Slitherine title, the DAG is a powerful tool for any
wargames addict! If the ability to create one’s own finely tuned army isn’t
enough, Rise of Rome also includes 5 new terrain types, 6 new battles, a random
battle generator, and over 100 new units including camelry, scythed chariots and
artillery!

Armies in Rise of Rome include:
Mid-Republican Roman, Late Republican Roman, Gallic, Pyrrhic, Later
Carthaginian, Ancient Spanish, Later Macedonian, Attalid Pergamene, Numidian or
Early Moorish, Later Seleucid, Later Ptolemaic, Pontic, Spartacus Slave Revolt,
Early Armenian, Parthian, Later Jewish, Bosporan. Plus a selection of allied
armies to bolster your main force.
