Focus on Building an Army and Fighting
Nemesis has some rather interesting and unique gameplay elements that set it apart from other games in this genre. For starters, there is no real base building and the focus is mostly on building your army, upgrading your heroes, capturing villages and forts, and conquering your foes. The really intriguing and unique part is how you gain resources and the logistics involved. In order to gain more resources you must capture forts and villages to get a steady supply of food and gold by mule back in order to increase your settlements' populations and train more soldiers.Strategic Attack and Defense
Most of the action in Nemesis therefore surrounds capturing these outlying colonies and protecting them from attack, but you also must defend your supply lines since your mules can be attacked or even stolen. You must also keep your troops fed or they will lose combat effectiveness which means you must bring along enough mules to keep your men moving. This all adds together to make some rather interesting and fresh strategies and tactics.Intelligent AI
Another nice element is that the AI is rather intelligent and will use clever strategies to defeat you. For instance, it will probe your borders for weak points, attack weakly defended forts over heavy fortifications, and will try to draw your sieging units into range of its towers.Minor Drawbacks
There aren't too many problems with Nemesis, at least ones that affect the gameplay. The graphics do seem a little dated and the units have somewhat awkward walking motions. Also, the cutscenes are rather simplistic and the text boxes do little to draw you into the story. The only real issue is with large armies and some problems in controlling them. For instance, there are times where half your army will attack nearby enemies while the rest sit idly by only a few feet away which was frustrating.Conclusion - Recommended!
Overall, Nemesis of the Roman Empire provides a fun and entertaining RTS experience that has enough variety and unique gameplay elements to make you want to keep playing. With two lengthy campaigns, a robust skirmish mode, and online multiplayer options, there are hours upon hours of playtime to be had. The useful interface and variable difficulty make this a great title for new players to sink their teeth into this addicting genre and has enough depth to attract more hard-core fans.
