Field of Glory

Field of Glory is a series of turn-based strategy games published by British company Slitherine Software for personal computers.

[3][4] The release of the game and two companion books (Rise of Rome and Storm of Arrows) were announced on December 20, 2007, for February 2008.

[3] Wargamer gave the game a positive review: "On a 1 to 10 scale I’d give Field of Glory a skosh over 9, but only for intermediate or advanced players.

Given that most players who already compete in ancients tourneys are at this level anyway, this should not be a problem, but beginners will likely get lost in the complexity if not nurtured.

[13] It was ported by Freeverse Inc.[14] Four expansion packs were released in 2010: Rise of Rome, Storm of Arrows, Immortal Fire, and Swords & Scimitars.

[28] Several DLC packs were released: Immortal Fire in 2017,[29] Legions Triumphant, Age of Belisarius, and Rise of Persia in 2018,[30][31][32] Wolves at the Gate in 2019, and Swifter than Eagles in 2023.

"[28] Wargamer said that the game "[...] is not only well worth while, but especially when compared to the first edition and other competing products, an absolute must buy.

[38][39][1] Strategy Gamer said that "Empires lacks the breadth Imperator has striven for and is a few years behind what Total War is doing these days, but it's a smartly made game and gives a deeper military experience for those who prefer those aspects.

"[41][8] Tim Stone of Rock Paper Shotgun summarized: "I'd be surprised if Field of Glory: Empires didn't go down as one of 2019s best grand strategy offerings.

[43][44] Several DlC packs were released: Reconquista and Swords and Scimitars in 2021,[45][46] Storm of Arrows, Rise of the Swiss, and Sublime Porte in 2022.

[9] Jonathan Bolding of PC Gamer said that the game doesn't "feel medieval", elaborating: "The ruleset's emphasis on flanking maneuvers over numerical advantage makes a lot of sense in the ancients period, but it feels silly when three units of elite infantry can't make a squad of enemy recruits flee in a single simultaneous assault.
