There are two things not looking so hot about this game.

The demo doesn't even come with a manual and you cant configure keys in the demo.

On Windows Vista the game just locks up and all I get is a big sign that says English when exiting. I think the overall game is a good concept but some obvious element were taken from something *bump* *bump*. Not to reflect on the final product itself but in my opinion it should not have been released, because it gives a bad first impression.

Generally speaking, the demo for download is of poor quality. Might have to copy/paste some overly long broken URLs. When you have some spare time, check out the following URLs: I wish you success on the rest of your school years. That's perfectly understandable GoSailing. The 2 civilizations in RnF that SSSi hit it on was the Persians and Greeks. Get yourself some Osprey Military books, read them.you will see uniforms and military dress like you've never seen before in traditional history books.
After playing AoE, it made my interest for history grow even more! Believe it or not, Age of Empires tought me a lot of ancient history that I never knew about.I had always been into medieval and Napoleonic, but never ancient. I was here because history drove me to buy a game called "Age of Empires" back in 1998. I really encourage you to learn your history. Those are the best military books in the WORLD BAR NONE!

All a game company has to do is purchase the Osprey Military Series books for the most accurate historical military dress. *if only I had the necessary programming skills*Īlso, I forgot to mention. You and me Spartos ought to start up our own company and make the most accurately historical RTS games ever made! They did better than most companies, but they too messed up on the Egyptian Spearmen.all level 5 spearmen once again looked like pharaoh. I spent months doing all in my power to get SSSi to portray units as historically accurate as possible. I'm another one who cares about historical accuracy. Who knows, maybe we can start a petition to send to World Forge in hopes that the next "Ancient Wars" title will embrace historical content. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else feels this way, or can explain why game companies are so ignorant. So why aren't any RTS games cashin' in on the realistic, nitty-gritty reality approach?Īfter all, if you're trying to portray an ancient civilization, you should at least do research beyond watching "The War in Iraq" and "The Mummy Returns" for your inspiration. But seriously, is it really that hard to make a game that's historically feasible? Don't tell me people won't by a game that's realistic, Rome: Total War was one of the most popular strategy games ever, and had comparitively excellent historical content (even though their Egyptians were a little wacked too.) Even RaF was a fairly good example of historical accuracy (although I have a few problems with it). If I even buy this game at all it will be for the Spartans, because they don't look that bad.
Some of the buildings also look extraordinarily inaccurate, but the Greek Civilization is sound for the most part.
They look like Medieval period Saracen Jihadists crossed with Iraqi terrorists! If they really wanted to represent the Persians accurately, they might have started here. They could have started with some actual historical evidence, like these tomb ornament Figures made by the Egyptians themselves.ĭon't even get me started with the Persians. And please, find me an historical reference for those double-blade weapons (I'm pretty sure they never existed). Their neck-pieces would also be ridiculously heavy, and only reserved for royalty,let alone the common soldier. Their shields are just way too ornate and would be way to heavy and expensive with all those gold and emerald inlays. Just take a look at the Egyptians in this screenshot.Īncient Wars: Sparta - Egyptians and PersiansĪlmost all of them look like they're wearing the crown of Lower Egypt (Isn't that supposed to be reserved for the Pharaohs?). I'm beginning to think that I'm the only RTS player who cares about history at all. I've just been through some screenshots of Sparta, and it seems for all the claims their lead designers made in interviews about "historical accuracy" it seems they just couldn't deliver.
