Today Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar becomes available through Steam Early Access, but for those who still need a nudge to command legions in the name of conquest, Longbow Games is Twitch streaming tonight.
A new developer diary has been released by the studio, but we’ll also get to see actual gameplay from 19:00GMT / 20:00CET on the Kalypso Media Twitch.tv channel.
A reduced price of £19.99 / €24.99 / $24.99 will accompany the strategy game as it goes into Early Access, which doesn’t support sandbox yet but features parts of the campaign.
Once the livestream begins you can watch it below:
"Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar takes you to the plains and forests of ancient Gaul where Julius Caesar wages a decade long war to subjugate the barbarian hordes. It will immerse you in history like no other real time strategy game ever before, forcing you to pay close attention to the changing seasons and rapidly changing military situations."
Features of Early Access

▪ Improved graphics engine – Hegemony Rome supports 10x the terrain detail over previous installments and features a diverse and immersive landscape to explore.
▪ Build an empire – The construction system allows players to build forts, walls, and bridges at thousands of sites across the map to cement Roman control over the barbarian kingdoms.
