This application is a major upgrade to the popular game system developed for Ancient Battle: Rome. This game was the top strategy game in 8 countries on the App Store and received rave reviews from critics, including praise for its strategic elements and challenging gameplay.
In this new version, players can experience three different campaigns that allow them to relive the battles of Alexander the Great in Greece and Macedonia. This includes the famous battle of Chaeronea. The second campaign follows Alexander's conquest of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, while also dealing with rebellious Spartans in Greece. The final campaign takes players to India, culminating in the epic battle of Hydaspes between the Macedonian Pike Phalanx and Indian Elephants.
One of the major improvements in this version is the game system itself. The A.I. has been enhanced, along with the combat analysis system, flank attack logic, line of sight logic, and the addition of Elephant Generals and Greek Hoplites. These improvements promise to make the gameplay even more engaging and realistic.
Some key features of this game include high definition graphics depicting the ancient era, a tutorial campaign with 7 missions, and a 4 mission campaign called Agnostos Thule. Players can also choose to play the 8 mission Greece Campaign as either the Macedonians or their opponents, including the Athenians, Thebans, Illyrians, Getae, Thracians, and Triballians. The Persia Campaign, with 7 missions, allows players to play as either the Macedonians or their opponents, the Achaemenid Persians and Spartans. Finally, the India Campaign, with 5 missions, lets players choose between the Macedonians and their opponents, the Classical Indians and Scythians.
In total, there are 48 unique ancient units to command and players can also access detailed combat analysis, flank attacks, and hours of gameplay. This app is also universal, meaning it can be played on both iPhone and iPad devices. For updates and news, players can follow the developers on Facebook and Twitter.
