This one looks good, but the review was not that enthusiastic saying it was, as a PC port, not very touchscreeny. Anyone played it? Topherunhinged Well-Known Member Feb 7, 2014 422 0 0 #4 Topherunhinged, Feb 24, 2014 I've been playing for about an hour and, yes, it's the PC port of a game from 2001, I think that's correct year. I suppose that it's not very touchscreeny but it a good game so I'm not sure why anybody would care. Essentially you conquer cities. Cities have so many slots for,building, which you build, upgrade, destroy and rebuild as you see fit. Most building either gather resources (farms, mines...), relate to your military strength (forts, recruitment structures, training grounds...) or improve city efficiency (town halls, shrines, bath houses...). Armies are the biggest focus, though mitigating the number of enemies you have through diplomacy is a component. Basically, armies fight. In battle you arrange your men in the field (placing their troop block on a open map), set their individual formations (block, wedge, inverted circle, open rank, closed ranks...) and set their order (wait then advance, rapid advance, advance the wait...). You do not directly control battles, this is not Total War, you direct the pre-battle plans akin to Dominions on PC or Mini-Warriors on iOS, only this isn't freemium garbage. Personally I think everything works great but that said, it's a PC title. There can be a lot of cities to manage and armies to oversee. I enjoy the fact that I can play any faction on a map (Romans, Picts, hillmen....), I love the actaul battle system and I love that it's a map-painting game. vicsark Well-Known Member Aug 22, 2011 1,532 0 0 #5 vicsark, Feb 24, 2014 Thks a lot for your very detailed answer mate That's why you gotta love TA community (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
