Today I played a most excellent 2 players card game , abstractly themed on a Greco-Persian conflict between the armies of Alexander and Darius .

Won't go into any detail about the gameplay ( but I have no problem doing so if a mod or a team member asks me to out of interest - in order to know from a responsible source that it won't be considered spamming ) , suffice it to say that I fell in love instantly with the game .

So I was wondering if I could get permission from the team to create a custom deck using artwork from my favorite EB mod .

For my personal use only of course . I do not intend to sell the cards , if I get permission to create such a deck .

Let me know please .

I can see why you want EB card designs! Hoplite with Corinthian helmet at Guagamela, don't think so...

A good Idea Indeed.

Satyros this is excellent! You might imagine already (due to our PM conversations) why I'm asking this, but is there a video game version of this card game?

There is indeed a mobile phone application of the game , methinks , even though I have not played it .

Don't know anything more on this , sorry .

This is an excellent game ( for one who has a taste for such games at least ) and I 'd suggest you gave it a try .

It is not a wargame ( in the true sense of the word ) , it is rather themed like a wargame , but it is very fun to play .

But enough with the infomercial ( :P ) , sorry about that , I will stop now and wait for an answer .
