Curious to hear your feedback once you have completed a scenario.

This is awesome...you two are like the Groghead's elite brigade of commandos who, through great personal risk and sacrifice, play the older and more obscure strategy titles out there in order to report back when the coast is clear for the rest of the team to advance.

I had this game before. Not on steam, but I was able to get it via digital download. I'll have to investigate where because I don't remember offhand.

Is this basically the same as Celtic Kings: Rage of War, or is it a totally different game?

Sorry i didn't see this:

The first game is mostly an adventure game around Larax.
Second game is about the Punic Wars (one campaign as Carthage and one as Rome)
Third game has many scenarios of battles against Rome and as many as Rome (no campaigns).

Anguille have you played multiplayer?
This game also kinda reminds me of praetorians

[Gusington]

I trust your judgment Anguille! And yes I have read many comparisons to the Celtic Kings games.

Heh I just spotted Anguille's Steam review. He's really backing this one!

I have not played multiplayer. I usually don't have the time to do that unfortunately.

Indeed, it's somewhat similar to Praetorians.

This one's getting absolutely blasted in the Steam reviews.  A number of reviews are focused on dumb tangential stuff like people getting banned on the official discord, and people being unhappy with the decision making of the dev team. 

Funny enough, one of the positive reviews mentions "one of the most toxic communities you'll see in gaming."  That appears to hold water.   :-"

Taken on its own merits, its a good game for $10.

I read some of the Steam reviews as well, and they seem silly. And you are right about tangential stuff ... folks getting upset because the dev is an idiot when it comes to communicating with the fans. 

The negative passion directed against the dev in the reviews kind of reminds me of reviews of Derek Smart's stuff....

But for me, there are just some simple things I look for in any game. Is the game fun or not?  Is it well priced?

For me, the game does well in both of these... If you like RTS', particularly old fashioned ones, this is a good one.

^ Well said, I went ahead and picked it up because it seems like a steal for $10, and I never played the original so I have no room to feel screwed by the lack of new content.

Yeah, but Derek Smart deserved it because he truly was an asshole and his games really did suck.

I picked this up too. I wasn't going to continue agonizing over $9.99. I rather enjoyed the tutorial and am really impressed with the logistical system. The need to keep your army feed on the march? Pretty cool.  :arr:

If you don't want to buy games you don't need, don't read the forums.  I already have several games of this type that I haven't played so what's another one!
