Thanks for this. Was curious to see why it had such a rough reputation when it seemed to have such familiar mechanics. Doesn't seem to bad at all, and the reviews seem way to harsh.

None of the above. Opposums are just incredibly gentle.

You mentioned star fleet battles. Oh Star fleet battles, I remember you well. I actually turned that ol' game into a modern submarine/fleet action game with a Jane's Guide and a pile of spiral notebooks. They dont make them like that anymore.

Opposums don't get rabies. Their blood temperature is too low for the virus to survive. Needless opposum death here.

Scipio Amelianus's characterization is all wrong in this video. He supposedly wept when they sacked Rome and quoted a line from Homer. The fall of the city reminding him that every great people will fall some day.

Wow. Ive never seen this level of cooperation in any game.

The closest japanese equivalent that I could think of would be the Onin War as far as the level of devastation and a close parallel to the 30 years war. However I don't think the Shogun version is really clearly defined in a particular period is it?

This game looks like it gets messy very quickly and by that I mean a sloppy table. Do you think this is mainly a components issue that needs to be fixed, or does it just look like a problem from where I'm at?

Whoa. Throwing me off with the different angle!

Only 3 years in captivity? Poor things.

Is there a massive rules difference between this and conquest of the empire? BGG says that COTE is based on this.

Thx. I will order this game because of your review.

Hey. Just read an article in ancient warfare magazine talking about testing aspects on the battle of marathon using an australian reenactment group. Was that you guys?

afflicted with female? Is that what you said?

beyond unit mix and leads are there any tactical elements? Seems like just a dice fest which is disappointing because the components look great.

You've managed to hit two out of three (successors & Gloria Mundi) games I've been interested in for awhile and considered purchasing. Interested in successors because of the time period and gloria mundi because supposedly, it's a rather vicious euro which is not only a rarity but fixes one of my...

Did you do a sorta historical setup? Ptolemy in egypt, Antipater and Antigonus one-eyed etc.? Or was this setup purely by chance?
