Gameplay
Built on the same hex-based engine as Wargames of 1939 and Populus Romanus, Populus Romanus 2: Britannia offers a focused single-campaign experience with refined unit balance. Elite Praetorian units are tougher than in the base game, whilst lighter troops are more vulnerable — reflecting the harsh realities of campaigning at the edge of the known world.
Populus Romanus 2: Britannia is currently in development and coming soon to Google Play.
