This DLC is essential to any CKII player. The addition of permanent armies, Retinues, makes army building much more fun, and the addition of extra flavor and events for the Byzantine Empire and Orthodox religion adds some extra fun stuff. The DLC is also extremely cheap (5 USD), and can be purchased on a sale for less than the price of a cup of coffee.
Overall, this DLC is essential, and I would recommend every CKII player who does not have it to consider investing the price of a cup of coffee into their game to greatly improve their experience.
One of the best games I have ever played. Offers a wonderful and unique experience as well a very large amount of choices. Enjoyable and engaging campaign and battles.
As a call of duty fan, I would say that the game met all expectations. The gameplay is smooth and wonderful. It offers a great campagin and extremely enjoyable and challenging multiplayer experience.
One of the better hidden object games where puzzles also play a part. Very easy to use map. Nice graphics. It is difficult to find hidden object games with challenging puzzles, but this is one of them!
Could be more challenging, but enjoyable none the less. Good quality/price. Griddlers should come in different difficulty modes and start at more expert level for experienced players. Mostly the first half of these kinds of games it way too easy.
Is more challenging than other griddlers. Easy gameplay and levels advance in difficulty quicker than other griddlers. It's a shame ther aren't more of these.
One of the better hidden object games with super graphics
This lengthy game (always hate it when you buy a game after having played the demo and the gameplay is not much more than the time you've already played...) is very enjoyable. The hidden object scenes are very beautifully done and challenging enough. Storyline is nice.
This tower defense game is fun because of the subject matter. Nicely engineered. Some levels are too hard and it's frustrating when no matter what you do, you just don't seem to be able to get enough stars...
Paradox has a name in strategy that Imperator: Rome is not up to.
I:R looks more an Europa Universalis 4 mod rather than a brand new game. The gameplay is just dull: all relevant features are better in other Paradox games. You have to deal with characters but they're far from the complexity of Crusader Kings 2. Your have some empire building to do but diplomacy or internal politics are well below from EU4.
Every Paradox game has its own core: character and dinastic relationships in CK2, regional and world projection in EU4, industrial warfare in Hearts of Iron 4, exploration and empire-building in Stellaris... Imperator: Rome is just not there. We'll see if the game is changed in further developments, as Paradox is used to do.
Ancient Relics is a small expansion for Stellaris, but I find it more interesting than the last one of these "story packs" (Distant Stars).
From the beginning Stellaris has brought us some misteries (fallen empires, extinct precursors in space exploration, supernatural crisis...) and Anticent Relics develops what happened to those precursors. This DLC introduces a few more precursors as well as a new feature that reworks space exploration: archeology.
The interesting thing about Ancient Relics is that eXploration, which is the first phase in every 4X game, gets a new life in the mid and mid-late game, as you can only explore the most complex archeological sites when you have proper reasearchers, and the outcomes of this activity (minor artifacts and relics) can have an effect during all the game.
In conclusion, a recommended DLC for giving new life to the best current space 4X game.
