'Imperator Rome' has bags of potential, but there isn't enough content, enough gameplay, nor enough fun to be had in its current state.
HEXUS have some screenshots and a first look at another strategy title set in Rome that probably won't be able to compete with Rome:Total War.
"The aim of Imperial Rome/Imperium Romanum is to take the role of a Roman governor, gather resources, organise and command your armies and build a prosperous and imperious settlement. They'll be a number of game modes, but the main campaign will be History mode, which sees you following a timeline based on real events in Roman history. The developer's Haemimont Games has focused on creating a realistic fact-based Roman environment, so they'll be tons of authentic buildings, including the mass entertainment venue of Circus Maximus."
