About Warrior of Rome II
Warrior of Rome II is a real-time strategy game similar to Populous, in which the player controls the Roman Army. The player controls a number of individual units in each map, which can be directed in various ways, such as to approach and attack a particular target, construct or demolish structures, or form or disband units. The single-player scenario begins with Caesar receiving orders from Rome to suppress a revolt in Asia. There is also a free battle mode for one or two players that features several dozen maps to choose from. A unique feature of the game is the highly configurable menu system. The player can move, resize, rearrange, and close any of the different information windows as they see fit.

A deep wargame that suits strategy fans and may put off everyone else.
Warrior of Rome II, called Caesar no Yabou II in Japan, is a real-time strategy game developed and published by Micronet and the sequel to Warrior of Rome. It came out in Japan on 28 May 1992 and in North America in June 1992.
Video Games & Computer Entertainment thought it might be the best Genesis war game to date, as sophisticated as many computer war games with a clearly superior interface and highly orchestrated music, though it found the troop figures crude and the icons tiny. Sega Force's reviewers disagreed sharply about it, one liking it much more than the other.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits about at the middle. Some modes save to a battery inside the cartridge, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair and not a sign of a fake. The Japanese loose cart (Caesar no Yabou II) usually costs much less than the US one, while a complete Japanese copy costs about the same. The Japanese cartridge has a different shape and needs an adapter or two plastic tabs removed from a Western console's slot.
