Initially I just thought yet another clone.
Cut wood, collect gold a build buildings allowing for units to be built.

Then I played the demo, and yes that is the way it started, then I was suprised. You have the option to build a hero.

Once you have a hero, and he has enough stamina, you can actually become the hero and play through the eyes of the hero.

ie you get a sword and take part in the battle.
You get four races to select form ROME, EGYPT, PERSIA and GREECE
You also get to fight naval battles so im impressed, will prob get the game today. While im shopping

Download the demo and tell me what you think.

By all accounts it gets boring and samey after a short while and didn't get very good reviews. One to pickup in the sales I think.

Do I take it that this means your graphics card wont play the game/ demo ?

Yes, sadly, this is an annoying trend of games insisting on having better and better graphics.

Bought it, Played it, Loved it

The hero command is great but germanicus is useless he attack far to slow for the one who look a bit an arab (not nebruchaz) is the best he moves fast and attack fast perfect

IIRC, this game had caught my eye because of the naval combat pics. It seemed like a good model for TW to follow.

I'll pass on this. It looks too much like a C&C, RoN, AoE type. Damn you CA for making the only strategy game I can enjoy playing!

The European version of the full game is comfirmed to have Starforce. I'm not sure about the US, but I won't risk my computer life for that thing.
