It's a MOBA, like League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth & that Blizzard version.

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), also known as action real-time strategy (ARTS), is a sub-genre of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, in which often two teams of players compete with each other in discrete games, with each player controlling a single character through an RTS-style interface. It differs from traditional RTS games in that there is no unit construction and players control just one character. In this sense, it is a fusion of action games and real-time strategy games. The genre emphasizes cooperative team-play; players select and control one "hero", a powerful unit with various abilities and advantages to form a team's overall strategy. The objective is to destroy the opponents' main structure with the assistance of periodically spawned computer-controlled units that march towards the enemy's main structure via paths referred to as "lanes".

Also more info on it's steam page.

Mass Effect 3 is 66% off ($6.78US) on GamersGate.  It still installs through Origin.

Imperialism I and II is on sale at GoG.  I wish people still made games like that.

[Syt]

I was mad at Imperialism 1 when it came out because it failed to model the worker's movement or things like the American Civil War. I may want to give it a try again, but IIRC the game AI would inevitably gang up on you.

Anyone know any good Roman-themed games?

Alea Jacta Est (AJE) covers mostly Romans vs Romans fighting, with the key Roman Civil Wars between the 1st century BC and the 3rd century AD: http://www.ageod.com/en/ageod-games/35-pre-order-alea-jacta-est-base-version.html


BIRTH OF ROME is the story of those epic wars that allowed the young Roman Republic to unify Italy and defeat Carthage over Sicily: http://www.ageod.com/en/45-birth-of-rome.html

The latest Humble Bundle has Hotline Miami and a bunch of other games for $5.68.  HM alone is worth it for that price.

Proteus and Awesomenauts are really good as well.
