Field of Glory II

Field of Glory II

Field of Glory II is a turn-based tactical game set during the Rise of Rome, from 280 to 25 BC.

The game that brought the fun and excitement of a board game to digital is back. Created by legendary designer Richard Bodley Scott with a full 3D engine, Field of Glory is ready to set new standards for computer wargames.

Field of Glory II will allow you to fight big and small battles on the side of or against Rome, or between other nations that are still unaware of the threat from Rome, or battles of the “What if…” genre between nations that have never historically fought each other, but could have done so if history had turned out differently.

Take command of a vast variety of armies using vastly varied tactical doctrines. Lead your chosen army and its generals to victory in distinctive historical battles or your own “What if…” battles against an AI or human opponent.

Victory will require determination and tactical mastery!
