Centurion: Defender of Rome: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

* [[Anachronism Stew]]/[[Popular History]]: The in-game historical date is only a turn counter; the game mixes elements and leaders separated by centuries such as Hannibal and Cleopatra.

* [[Ancient Rome]]: An amalgam of [[The Roman Republic]] and [[The Roman Empire]].

* [[Anti Cavalry]]: Not present in the game and the player usually learns it the painful way because enemies with huge cavalry are a very hard nut to crack.

* [[Anti-Cavalry]]: Not present in the game and the player usually learns it the painful way because enemies with huge cavalry are a very hard nut to crack.

* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: Partially justified, the number of legions you can rise depends on your rank, and you are only a magistrate of Rome, not a supreme ruler.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: [[Punic Wars|Carthage]] and Partia never ally with Rome. Lampshaded by their leaders.

* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: The [[General Failure|enemy generals]] only know one tactic, [[Attack Attack Attack]], and sometimes [[Too Dumb to Live|the extremely vulnerable leader is in the first line of combat]]. Once he dies a big chunk of his army [[Attack Attack Retreat Retreat|retreats]] or loses morale.

Attack!]], and sometimes [[Too Dumb to Live|the extremely vulnerable leader is in the first line of combat]]. Once he dies a big chunk of his army [[Attack! Attack! Retreat! Retreat!|retreats]] or loses morale.

* [[The Assimilator]]: Given time, barbarian peoples will become Roman citizens. This was called romanization in [[Real Life]]

* [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]: There are several possible [[Call That a Formation|formations]] and battle plans available before a combat. The enemies rarely use most of them, relying more in frontal assaults.

Line 53:

* [[Risk Style Map]]

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Panicked units make a 180 degree turn and leave the battlefield. A lot of units panick when their leader is killed so massive routs are common.

* [[Shout Out]]: The chariot races to [[Ben Hur]] and there are some to [[Cleopatra]] (she looks exactly like [[Elizabeth Taylor]]) and to [[Spartacus]], among many others concerning classical antiquity.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To [[Defender of the Crown]]. And the [[Total War]] series could be considered this to Centurion, since they share a lot of concepts and gameplay.

* [[Take Over the World]]: The goal of the game.
