### 2/5 — Bug

*2025-08-21*

For the Agnostos Thule campaign, when you play as the Persians as soon as you kill the first Macedonian unit, it says you lost your control point regardless of what you do. 
Other than, great game.

### 1/5 — Persian campaign is in game but broken

*2025-05-04*

After beating the first campaign it allowed me to play a single level of the persian campaign then wouldn't let me go back and access it again after that

### 3/5 — Okay game

*2021-09-23*

Kinda wished the difficulty of the AI was a bit balanced out more. Some scenarios just felt unfair but others felt too easy. Otherwise a fun game to kill some time with.

### 5/5 — Another great game

*2017-09-23*

I usually play their tank battle games so this is a interest change for me. As ever a good challenging game and recommended.
