How it feels
A deliberate, cerebral wargame that feels like maneuvering ancient phalanxes on a grid, balancing careful planning with decisive action.

What players say
Players say the game is a slow, turn-based empire builder focused on managing eight resources and city development, not just conquest. The battles are auto-resolved, and reviews note the game plays like a simpler ancestor to the Total War series.
