Finally was able to fire this demo up when I got home from a hard day at work.

WOW is all I can say ... can't wait for the full version. Watching my cavalry charge into the enemy's puny Light Infantry and watching the impact was satisfying. And the War Elephants -- Good Gawd!! The first time I saw them get spooked, trampling and tossing my own men like rag dolls was AWESOME!

Get this -- In the full game you can release Flaming Pigs for crying out loud. How cool is that?

This game has more depth than any strategy game to date ... you owe it to yourself to give it a try, even if you aren't fond of the strategy genre.

FYI-- The game should be released by the end of September

Have Fun!

Why do you say that? The only thing that is similar to age of empires is the era and the kind of units. There is no unit or build construction and no resource gathering.

The demo is pretty cool, I was disapointed that it was only a short tutorial and one short mission though. Fun though, can't wait till the game comes out.

talk about making a stupid point I didn't say it was completely like age of empires. But the map style is very alike as well as how you control the units.

I can't wait for this game to come out. Does anyone know what specs it will need to run at it's best. Especially seeing they have said they are going to render each soldier in 3D individually. I'm thinking I'll have a Sager 3790 by then and hope it will run it.
