Why? A lot of their games are being co-developed for PC and ios. Pike and Shot, WH40K Armageddon, Battle Academy 1&2, etc...

I know next to nothing about the game, but from the trailer, I can see... its a reskinned Battle Academy. Like Pike and Shot. I would have given it a month or two before releasing ANOTHER reskinned effort.

It might be drastically different in all ways. But at the moment, I'm still getting over the Pike and Shot change up. Its a good thing, don't get me wrong, but releasing drastically unrelated little publicised games blatantly using the same engine, might take a bit of swallowing over time.

It might be the BEST thing since sliced bread, but I guess I'll have to wait and see. Till I can justify to outlay to myself. Its feeling very Tiller-esque at the moment.

And these are all fully featured titles and not dumbed down.

So no one has yet to purchase it?
Not even myself or JH  ???

Do you know for sure it uses the BA engine? I ask because this game was developed by Hunted Cow and not Lordz.

It is BA engine. Briefing is the same, unit purchase is the same, battle UI is the same.

Slitherine must own the rights to the engine. In fact, the name of the engine is an acronym and the first letter "s" stands for slitherine.
