Strategos is an upcoming real-time tactics wargame set in classical antiquity, spanning nearly a thousand years of history from the Persian Wars to the rise of the Sasanian Empire against Imperial Rome. It was recently revealead that the publisher of the game will be MicroProse, which is designed to simulate large-scale battles with a focus on historical authenticity and tabletop-inspired mechanics.
Developed primarily by a solo developer with support from contracted artists, Strategos aims to differentiate itself from grand strategy titles like Total War by emphasizing tactical depth over campaign management. The game is currently in development with no firm release date, though it’s available to wishlist on Steam. It promises a detailed command-and-control system, over 120 factions, and more than 250 unique units.
Strategos immerses you in the ancient Mediterranean world, covering a timeline from roughly 500 BCE to 500 CE. This includes:
- The Persian Wars (Greek hoplites vs. Persian Immortals).
- The rise of Hellenic empires (Alexander the Great’s successors).
- The Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage.
- Conflicts involving Gallic, Germanic, and Iberian tribes.
- The late Roman era against the Sasanian Empire.
Thousands of soldiers can appear on-screen, with individual animations for movement and combat, though outcomes are resolved at the unit level using tabletop-style rules. An advanced system simulates the challenges of ancient warfare. Additionally, you can position generals to issue orders, send couriers, boost morale, or engage in combat, but units may act independently (charging, evading, or routing) based on morale and situational factors.
