How it feels

A methodical, historically-grounded turn-based tactical wargame where you command ancient naval fleets in deliberate, grid-like engagements.

What players say

Players praise the unique ancient naval warfare subject and the WEGO turn system with command radii, but note that development stopped in 2017. There is disagreement on fun: some find the chaotic ship collisions and long turns frustrating, while others enjoy the deep tactics. It is recommended mostly for hardcore wargame and history fans, especially on sale.
