About
Strategos is a hardcore real-time tactics wargame set in classical antiquity (578 BC - 284 AD). Bridging the gap between traditional RTS and tabletop wargaming, it simulates large-scale battles where realistic command delays, morale physics, and formation integrity dictate the flow of history.
Story
While primarily a sandbox simulation, the game features extensive historical campaigns. Players can relive the conquests of Alexander the Great, navigate the treachery of the Sicilian Punic Wars, or rewrite the fates of over 120 factions ranging from the Hellenic Empires to Germanic tribes.
Gameplay
Gameplay focuses on realistic command and control; orders are not instantaneous but are carried by couriers across the battlefield. Success depends on pre-battle positioning and maintaining unit morale, as troops will fragment and route if flanked or disheartened, mimicking the psychological reality of ancient warfare.

💡 Did You Know?
Units cannot react instantly; you must watch a digital messenger run across the map to deliver your orders.
The game covers nearly 900 years of military history, from the rise of Persia to the Crisis of the Third Century.
Unlike many RTS games, cavalry isn't instantly destroyed by spears; momentum and flanking play a larger role.
Morale is dynamic: units don't just die, they enter 'disordered' or 'fragmented' states before fleeing.
