...from the developer of Qvadriga and Slitherine.  Saw the following in this week's RPS Flarepath...

...Turnopia are currently neck-deep in ancient history again.

Here's everything I know about Project #3 at present:

It's a naval game.
It's inspired by Ben-Hur.
It's being made with the assistance of that genre-bestriding colossus, Slitherine Ltd.

It could have potential if done right.

My only question is, why not "inspired by ancient naval history"?

I am a bit leery of it being inspired by a movie.

If it is done right it would be a first day purchase for me.

I rather suspect this game is not Steam and Iron transported to antiquity.

I suspect the game will feature a lot of flaming pots of gasoline.

Every generation gets the Greeks and Romans it deserves.

If that was auto-correct, it's genius.

Well, Qvadriga was inspired by Ben-Hur, so that seems fair.  O0
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I thought it was inspired by the old tabletop game from the '80s..?
