I just wanted to congratulate you on making a great game, and thank you for making such a detailed, realistic and beautiful recreation of ancient Greece and the surrounding regions. I've been interested in ancient history for a long time, and just wanted to let you know that at least one of your customers appreciates the loving that the map has obviously been given, and all the other historical details. It's great to see this area and period so beautifully brought to life. Good to see Phillip V getting some press too.

On one level I'm a little disappointed that the combat system is more like WWII than the ancient world, but I'm having great fun with it anyway.

As an independent developer myself (Ntronium Games) I also realize what a great achievement this for a small studio. I hope you find a publisher soon to get you the publicity you deserve.

Played the game a bit more last night, and am coming to appreciate the combat system more. In the early game it feels very WWII like as units get ground up and recycled. but as you get further from your homelands, it takes longer for the reformed units to get back to the front, so you have to fight the battles with what you have to hand, which gives a better ancient feel.

And while the catapults are ridiculously powerful against cities, they do force the garrison to come out and fight a field battle, which is a mechanic that works well. I tackled the Chalcidian League last night, and what I thought would be a boring slog (given their number of cities) was actually great fun, and I was able to advance rapidly. When winter's over, I'll finish them off.

Most annoying thing so far, is having units trashed by peltasts if you take your eye off them for a few seconds.

It really is a great game, but I think you mean Philip II. I made an account just to say that... I'm a jerk.

Oops. Shows I'm more of a hellenistic guy really. Phillip V was an interesting guy too

Anyway, at least you're a correct jerk :)
