NOTE! This video is OLD! Check out the latest trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKstxAygy40

This is the video we've put together for the Penny Arcade Exposition, which we'll be attending this August.

Just a reminder that this is all in-game footage.

When is this game due anyway?

[Skrapion]

I know people hate hearing this, but, here goes:

It's done when it's done.

So, I'm not going to give a specific release date, but it should be out this year.

[beepandbop]

I really like the context you have taken in here. I have been hoping for a game like this for a while, and I plan on getting it, provided you guys can pull it off, which I'm hoping you will.

While I don't want to slam it before its out, and this might not be a concern for many of your audience, but I am hoping you guys become competition for Creative Assembly.

[Skrapion]

Well, Creative Assembly has 60 employees to our 5, so we can't match them in *quantity* of releases, but hopefully we'll compete in terms of quality >:)

@Skrapion it's better that they take their rime instead of rushing it, this game has potential.

[Cakevspie94]

This has come such a long way!

There's also a Demo of this game on Steam.

[rattaplan]

Only €3,- on Steam today.

Bought this at PAX 2010 :D

Are you going to be putting Sarissas in this game? Also, will you make an expansion or anything about Alexander? Are you going to have the Battle of Chaeronia in it?

[beepandbop]

That's fair enough man, take care, so for being an ass, I didn't know what the full circumstances of it all were, and I'm definitely interested in this sort of game.

Take your time, and good luck!

[Skrapion]

Anyway, we're open to criticism, so what do you feel is "off" exactly? Let me know and I'll pass it on to the rest of the team!

Building isn't a major part of the game, but it is there. Most of the building involved is upgrading your city/fort defences and building supply lines across your empire.

When you're referring to "concept art", I assume you're referring to the parchment map. Actually, nothing in the video is concept art - that's all in-game; unlike Total War, we just have one giant map of Greece instead of a series of small battle-boards, so we needed a way to reduce the amount of visual information when you zoom out. So we made the game fade into a table-top view, and everything is still controllable, so you can make strategy-level decisions. (Continued in next post...)
