'Praetorians does manage to put the focus of its gameplay squarely on battlefield tactics.The challenging and lengthy single-player campaign and the tough AI will keep you busy for a long time.' - GameSpot, 8.4/10 - Full ReviewWill you become one of the greatest generals the world has ever known, or merely fade into the forgotten footnotes of history?

Other than a defensive tower, that is about all the base building you can do so the emphasis is really on the tactical combat which is very fun and addicting.Units With Special AbilitiesThere are the basic unit counters, such as cavalry are strong against archers but weak against pikemen and the like, but there are also several options with the different special abilities of your units.
