- Kalypso Media Digital is pleased to announce the
upcoming release of Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar for
Windows PC. Developed by Longbow Digital Arts, Hegemony Rome:
The Rise of Caesar will challenge players’ strategic battlefield
skills as they manage huge armies through the massive historical
battles of first century BC. In this, the sequel to Hegemony
Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece, players will wage war on
battlefields beautifully rendered by an upgraded graphics engine
as they strive to dominate the known world – via conquest, or by
starving out their enemies.
Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar takes you to the plains and
forests of ancient Gaul where Julius Caesar wages a decade long
war to subjugate the barbarian hordes. It will immerse you in
history like no other real time strategy game ever before,
forcing you to pay close attention to the changing seasons and
rapidly changing military situation.

are seamlessly zoom-able, from the Mediterranean coast to the
shores of Britannia.
