Well I bought it and kinda regret it because its still a bit buggy right now but I guess all TW fans should be used to that sort of thing :).
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

Thought I would bump this thread. The game is good and getting better. The new 'Gold' version is currently in beta (totally workable though) and is free for anyone who has already bought the first one. Diplomacy is in, AI spam attacks are fixed, manpower is fixed, crushing a faction wthout wiping them out will mostly take care of them (which is good) and sandbox mode is useable so you can play as any faction you want.
The scale of the game is incredible. I had a game as Sparta and thought "wow my empire is huge" then I zoomed out and thought "bugger, only control half the peloponnese". My current Macedon game has been going for 12 hours and I've only got a thin empire stretching across from Epirus over east of Pella down the Chalcidice region.
Worthwhile for anyone who has played this before and got fed up with its old issues and for anyone into wargames.

Thanks for this! I watched this game during it's development but I lost track of it and couldn't remember it's name.
Glad to be of service to you both =)
