Never Second in Rome is a turn-based historical game with RPG and management elements. You take the role of a Roman centurion in the army of Julius Caesar.

In a Republic dominating the Mediterranean World and yet shaken by internal strife, still traumatized by the horrors of the civil war that marked the previous generation, the arrival of a new governor in your province will initiate a succession of events that will ultimately define the future of Rome and its empire.

Starting right before the beginning of the Gallic War, you will assume command of a century in a newly raised legion.

Key features

• In addition to the main character, you will control the small army unit in your charge, your century.
• Train yourself and your century, appoint your staff and discover the most remarkable individuals at your service.
• Fight and lead your legionaries in real historical battles relying on a complex system of intertwined stats.
• Turn-based individual combat involving not only your main character, but also the soldiers under your command.
• Text-based events and narrative sections with many Attribute and Skill checks.
• Great care and attention to historical detail and accuracy.

His website says the name is Conquest and Rebellion but the Steam page is "Never Second in Rome"? https://store.steampowered.com/app/3169580/Never_Second_in_Rome/

This newspost may have been premature.

His website is probably outdated, there's supposed to be a demo available there but the links don't work.

Yuge news nonetheless.

This game looks like spreadsheet simulator 4000

If this is an RPG then Dominions and Heroes also are

A Legionary's Life is probably the best RPG of the past decade though, and it looks pretty much like that.

I don't doubt that it's good. Nor that it is *among* the best of the last decade. But besides the likes of Underrail, Grimoire, Knights of the Chalice 1 and 2, Kenshi, it was hardly *the* best.

I will. This seems feature bloated though.

Yes, it's not an RPG. I'm making an exception.

It's like AoD and Princes Maker had a child who participated in a Second Punic War.

Can you be promoted to command larger or specialized parts of the legion like you could in the century in A Legionnaire's Life?

 

[Hellion]

Ranks are displayed in the character sheet so naturally yes you can be promoted.

Amazing. Legionnary's Life was very fun, good to see that we'll get a follow-up.
