    100 turns?

    Ah well, I guess they've managed to balance it. Perhaps we will se a recruitment system aka M:TW2.

    IGN preview: "forget about the years, the game is all about turns now even if the meta-map still looks like the seasons are turning."

    This is just wonderful. So, there are 100 turns each representing 6 months between 336 BC and 323 BC.

    IGN: "The headlong rush into enemy territory doesn't leave much chance to build up an economy which is especially troubling since the game begins while Macedonia is still recovering from the shellacking the Persians laid down a century earlier. At the same time, it's nearly impossible to leave troops behind in any conquered cities to quell riots and keep insurgents down."

    You have 100 turns to conquer 30 provinces and 10 cities. On your mark. Get ready. Go!

    Still debating on whether to shell out the money or not. The campaign sounds exciting, but isn't enough. I think it'll all come down whether the other factions are playable or not.
