Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I just thought you might be interested to know about our game that has just gone gold and is heading to the shop. The UK release is 21st March and other countries will follow soon afterwards.<br>
<br>
Spartan is a turn based empire building strategy game set in anceint Greece. The reason it might appeal to you guys is that it also includes Roman expeditions and although you cannot control these off map invasions in the historical game, you can choose to play as the romans in the alternative history settings. You can fight battles with thousands of Hastati & Triarii - check out the screenshots on our website for more info.<br>
<br>
Features<br>
* Engrossing turn based strategy that builds on the success of Legion & Chariots of War<br>
* New & beautifully hand-crafted 3D rendered campaign map<br>
* Upgraded to fully 3D battles with free zoom and rotatable camera<br>
* Optional 2D battles for low spec machines<br>
* Innovative "Always Active" 2 player multiplayer over LAN & Internet via Gamespy<br>
* Use ships to travel from island to island, fight naval battles & perform naval invasions.<br>
* Siege castles and assault them when they are weakened<br>
* Build city walls armed with catapults and hurl Greek fire onto your enemies, scorching the earth and killing anyone in their path<br>
* Huge battles allowing twice as many squads as before (up to 16 per side) on battlefields 4 times the size<br>
* Enhanced diplomacy options, trade agreements, tributes, spying sabotage & more<br>
* Over 100 different nations on a huge campaign map that spans Greece and the ancient near east<br>
* Loads of great new Greek & Persian units with hundreds of animations<br>
* New resources, technologies, nations, leaders, units, structures, events, barbarians & more<br>
* Mission objectives, historic events & capital cities<br>
* Epic structures such as the Acropolis, Oracle & the Colossus<br>
<br>
We're off to San Diego in a week for the finals of the Independent Games Festival where Spartan is one of the 10 finalists. I think Spartan is just the sort of game that would appeal to you guys, but I'm sure you'll let me know if I'm wrong<br>
