Hegemony III: Clash of the Ancients (Windows) is a deep historical real-time strategy and grand strategy game developed by Longbow Games. Released on August 25, 2015, it places you in the turbulent world of the early Roman Republic and pre-Roman Italy, where you can lead Rome or rival Greek, Etruscan, Gallic and Latin factions to dominance. The game blends empire building, logistics, tactical combat, and resource management on a single seamless map that lets you zoom between strategic overview and detailed battlefield control at any time, with pausable real-time gameplay.
In Clash of the Ancients, there’s no strictly linear narrative — instead a sandbox structure encourages creative conquest and long-term planning. Manage supply lines, develop cities, balance food and wealth, and expand your influence while dealing with seasonal effects like harsh winters that can hamper armies. The robust system also includes a map editor and full support for Steam Workshop mods, letting you expand or reinvent your campaigns.
