Looks good, im gonna test this!

[Akura]

I've played it, a quickie with the AI that doesn't really do anything. Here's my overview:

• The graphics are pretty good overally, especially at this stage of development.
• I was hoping for a larger scale of unit counts. Currently, the highest pop limit you can get is 200. Which means NO re-enacting 300 with an accurate troop count, which kinda sucks since both Spartan infantry and Leonidas himself are available to the Hellenes. Infantry take one, siege engines seems to take 2-3, and I didn't check cavalry.
• Speaking of Leonidas, it seems that hero units can be produced as many times as normal troops. I had two Leonidases(Leonidi? Leonideese?) running around. I doubt this is intended, though.
• Goats need to be more easily killed for food. Or at least, stop running away. One Gyne I had assigned to hunt the goat(which are produced at the Greek corral) chased the bugger halfway accross the map, and only did a little bit of damage.
• It seems pretty well polished, given the state of development.

Use ranged units for goat-killing. The goat won't run out of their range for some reason. Also, the whole numbers thing is just part of the game balance (or more likely the engine's ability to draw all those figures). Sure, you can't re-enact 300 to scale, but there's not many maps where that would be reasonable anyway. As for the hero thing, hopefully that will be fixed.

I thought it's pretty cool 5 years ago, but now I think I'll sooner play Duke Nukem Forever.

I want to know if DJ did in fact sooner play Duke Nukem Forever.

Whahahahahaha it deserved to be Necro'd for this reason alone!
