When in Reme, do as the Remans do
Ave, citizens! Rome wasn’t build in a day, but this podcast was built in a few hours, so you tell me which is better? This week, we’re doing a Romans special. We talk about the games Romans appear in, the way they’re portrayed, and the difference between Romans on console vs on PC. Also we talk a lot about the Pope, and ask the important question: what does a wolf’s milk taste like?

LinksWe talked about a lot of Roman games, but mostlyCaesar 3, which we haven’t written about much unfortunately (although we have mentionedZeus: Master Of OlympusandPharaohbefore).
We also mentioned strategy games, notably the confusingly namedRome: Total WarandTotal War: Rome II.
Honorable mentions go to the way Romans appear inAssassin’s Creed Oranges, and also the Xbox One launch game with the worst name everRyse: Son Of Rome. Matthew is correct: youdocutscene Boudica’s war elephant to death!
Matthew tried to find other Roman games and accidentally got this furry visual novel mysterycalled Roman’s Christmas.
Ghoastus challenged us to sort Roman game fact from fiction in the Cavern of Lies. Most of his games turned out to be untrue, but there were a few real ones in there, includingGladiator BeginsandCatechumen.
To make up for being right about Ryse: Son Of Rome’s war elephant, I can confirm that Matthew has been callingMatryoshka dollsthe wrong thing his entire life.
