Ratings and reviews

It is very fun playing as hannibal, I like the historymarche style graphics, and the realistic battle simulation the only major problem I have with the game is that there are a few holes where I lost most of my army and I wasn't strong enough to defeat the enemy army and I could no longer afford to repair my army, and the only way time would progress is by winning battles, so can you please implement a feature where you can camp out and wait for the reinforcements to arrive?

It is a unique game, and i am glad to contribute to further development to add further features, and smoothen some rough edges. I may have come across a bug, though. After i conquer Arausio in Gaul, the buttons don't come up anymore, no matter how long i wait. I can see the bar with the date and resource balance, but the buttons that would normally be above don't load anymore. Neither can i move on the map. I am stuck. Well, i'll try another campaign, as it seems to be just me.

Fun game a bit short though. After a certain point you just start steam rolling the enemy with your veterans. But overall it's a solid on rails strategy game. Unit controls are alright I like the messenger system, but trying to get calvary units to really flank how you would want them is difficult. Think it's a great start. I would love to see it turn into a grand strategy and let you move multiple armies and fleets around the map or add multiple campaigns to play through.
