This is literally exactly the same as Swordfall:Kingdoms, but with no other nations. It's not half bad, but it's seriously lacking for originality.

There is a sequel to this game set in medieval Europe. This is a great game with a few bugs and other problems but the Europe one is a massive improvement. PLAY IT NOW!!

It feels like tons of games have been made in this genre, but the way this one does resource, army management is exactly what they've all been missing.

I agree with most who say this game is easy on son of zeus, maybe have more units? i feel like im using same units the entire game... Persian mode too? play with persian units and ally with other countries?

Put a fast, powerful unit on an empty row (best available cavalry). With luck, it will kill one or two new opponents before reaching the other side, then it's health is restored. Can get through a lot of battles with very few casualties, and invest all your gold in cavalry improvements - ignoring the other weapons saves a LOT.

Easy to win even on son of zeus. Armies to have from beginning to end: 15 scout cavalry, 25 pikeman and 35 peltast. Let the enemy send troops first and just counter them, pikeman for cavalry, 1 or 2 peltast for infantry and cavalry for archers (sent in at the last second). Once your command builds up to like 150+, flood in the cavalry on different stratas. Easy win against any territory. Now the techs will help as you go. Dont spend money on new unit types except the pikeman and dont spend money on surgery or barracks. Focus on the 2 income techs, then command, and then attack and def for your 3 unit types. Done. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the strategy on the game 5/5.

very good game . It would be a good idea to have autosave after every battle. Also when Alexander the Great conquered an area he took the local spelial group under his command ... so why sth similar couldn't happen at this game too .

If anyone was wondering why the best cavalry in the game was called "companion cavalry" its because they would be made up of Alexander's companions. They are THE people you would want to be. They're the military AND social elite!

Historical note: Alexander's pikemen would not be called "Macedonian Pikemen" they would actually be called "Phalangmen"

Now when I play it second time I really wish they were more aggressive and not as sneaky as persians. Say you had Persians attacking it should show on the map colours as they're gaining ground etc. Atleast 3 nations fighting it would be most amazing ever! And yeah. There is bug after couple of rounds displaying instantly

badges like conquer whole world hard, beat persia easy & max your army medium badge if so..
To beat Persia is perhaps the easiest thing to do from the 3 :) But defo need badges so I can crush the game once again! :)
Badge like: reaching 10,000 gold would be the easiest ever!

12.5 years, units trained: 1.266 killed: 2.857 Gold Earned 1,560,111. Wish it had badges and wish Babylonians or Egyptians had fought as well as Persians did. It took all excitement away once I wiped out Persians.. :S

remember: just because a unit is considered a counter to another doesn't mean it will always win. if a super upgraded enemy cavalry unit goes against a militia it could take a lot of militia to fight

im interested in the fact that if the persians take one your countries you cant defend it at all you have to retake it rather than defending it like the persians do

This game is so bull shit, I lose all my units that are supposed to counter then enemy and the counterable enemy still beats 3 of them!

Use Cavalry. Put all research into only those things which affect cavalry, and leadership. Cavalry units will usually kill at least one enemy before they cross, so keep sending them on currently empty rows. Sometimes they will just run through, sometimes they will meet (and kill) and enemy before the other end. All health restored for a new run. Win at Son of Zeus level, and take a new province every turn, with hardly any casualties overall.

Greatest tip When an enemy takes over your country the next turn they will attack another country leaving 5 incredibly weak units so to make money let a general invade and take back countryies when they move on to new ones u aonly lose 1 country meanwhile u are making lots of gold and not losing troops
