Darvond: The thing I remember is that there were not that many colors, but it was from around the Windows 3.11 era, considering the font choice and how obtuse the dialog boxes often were. It took place in Roman times, and you were often subject to a text dump at the beginning of the turn to tell you what had occurred.

I recall there was a surprising amount of potential players (12 at the most, perhaps even 24), each being assigned a differing color.

The main thing I remember is that I think it was on the Galaxy of Games 2 CD.

Anyone?

justanoldgamer: I have no idea but was it fantasy, historic, modern or science-fiction?

Chimerical: just in case it is right

Licurg: Rome: Pathway to Power ?

Darvond: I'm just going to pause here and let you read the opener again. :B

justanoldgamer: Oops...

It's probably not that as you'd probably remember if it was that, but what about the first Civilization? It has a Roman look.

Licurg: Centurion: Defender of Rome ?

Licurg: What about Annals of Rome ? Tho I think that one might be too old to fit, it was made before 1990 .

Strijkbout: Great Battles Of Caesar?

RWarehall: There was the game Advanced Civilization which mimicked the actual board game.

Licurg: There's the Fighting for Rome series, is it one of those ?
