Warlord: Britannia is a strategy game in which the conquest of ancient Britain rests in your hands. Lead your soldiers into battle, attack towns and forts, and repel enemy assaults to ensure the success of your expedition.

Warlord: Britannia is an open-world strategy game in which you must lead a Roman expedition through ancient Britain. Developed and published by Darkmatter Games, it is currently priced at $9.99 on Steam.

You'll begin your campaign in the forested Lowlands and will have to head north, passing through hills and farms. However, you'll need to stay alert, as you may encounter trading convoys as well as armed groups. In addition, the locals will quickly report your presence.

As a player, you'll take part in battles and will need to use different strategies to defeat your opponents. In total, you'll be able to recruit up to 15 Roman centuries equipped with historically inspired weapons and armor.

But conquering Britain also requires good organization. Thus, to protect your troops, build fortified camps and post guards to watch for enemy raids. If the situation becomes too dangerous, you can also relocate your camp.
