''Centurion: Defender of Rome'' is a TurnBasedStrategy video game with [[RealTimeStrategy real-time battle sequences]], designed by Kellyn Beck and Bits of Magic and published by Creator/ElectronicArts. Originally released on the DOS platform for the PC in 1990, the game was later ported to the UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} and the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis in 1991. Centurion shares much of the concept and feel with Beck's earlier game ''VideoGame/DefenderOfTheCrown'' (1987) and might be regarded as its SpiritualSuccessor. In turn, the ''VideoGame/TotalWar'' Series borrows a lot of concepts from both games.

* NintendoHard: The highest two difficulty levels are like this. Much of the difficulty is FakeDifficulty, though. For example: the spawning of enemy marauding armies is mostly random. This means that, on any given turn, an army from Carthage can appear, or a much weaker army from Armenia, or no army at all. It is extremely difficult to win chariot races without resorting to bribes/cheating simply because your opponents move faster than you, even if you have the same type of chariot. The number of ships in enemy fleets is randomized, too, meaning that you can simply reload until you get better odds.
