Try 'A Legionary's Life' its kinda that plus STATS and COMBAT.

Or 'Heads will roll' its that with STATS COMBAT and TASTEFUL PORN.
Thanks bud!!!!

EDIT: I think I played Heads will Roll demo before, definitely going to get it.

When steam reviews cry about it being hard you just know it can be good.

Ain't no one become a consul of Rome without some sweet sweat. I haven't actually managed to get that tho, only a senatorial ending.

I remember becoming a senator in Legionary's Life and getting some laurel crowns for outstanding achievements in performing civic duties. My civic skills were never high enough to become a consul (which in realities of Punic Wars era Republic would not be possible anyway for a common pleb).

Nope at that point plebeians could be consuls and as a matter of fact for a long time it was mandatory to have one patrician and one plebeian consul.

Its still unrealistic because several powerful and rich plebeian families monopolized the office anyway but that's not a discussion for this thread...

Ok, just checked. My bad, one consul had to be plebeian since 367 bc. But yeah, even among the plebs the office was soon taken over by the oligarchy.

Still, a valid reason to return to Legionary's Life for one more, perfect playthrough!

Kindred Spirit here and I just wanted to say this is EXACTLY the game I've waited years for.

Finally a true-to-life Roman "life sim", where you can be whoever you want. You are not restricted to being 'just a soldier' or 'just an Emperor', but can live whatever existence you want....short of building a time machine and actually GOING to Ancient Rome, this will be the next best
