HOW COULD A DEATH OF A KING COULD BE IN THE SHADOW OF AN EMPIRE!

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE !

[Skrapion]

@gQuaresma07 Hey, no need to shout!

Basically, at the start of Philip's campaign, Macedonia was an insignificant part of Greece. When the Macedonian king died, Philip took over and built an empire spanning the entire Greek world.

i loled when it said "precise control" (0:21) an it showed that u move troops, not units

[Skrapion]

@KAKALXLAX No, this isn't a game where you issue commands to individual people, but that's not really about precision, that's more about granularity.

Hegemony is not a game where you tell all your units to swarm. Ancient Greek warfare was all about fighting in big brigades and getting your battle lines right, so that's what we've focused on. In that shot, you can see that the player can create their own custom formations. Most games don't do a very good job of offering that level of control.

@wildgoosespeeder After nearly six years in development, we're very excited to have reached this point! And yes, it was probably bold foolishness for a team as tiny as ours to tackle such an ambitious project, but we're hoping that fortune will favour the bold fools.

The shadow of "ancient greece"? do you mean of ANCIENT MACEDONIA ?! :@ is the creator a greek????

@northmetalguy its exactly what you described it ass, the depth is satisfying

[northmetalguy]

Looks interesting.. anyone knows how it holds up to the total war games? It looks a bit more focused on trade and the campaign map itself, am I correct? Rome total war didn't focus too much on trade or diplomacy, but rather on the battles themself, making the game fun and exiting, but loosing some of its dept when it comes to the campaign.. what about this game?

[Dandywarhol1]

This is a very good game, you should buy it :)

@gQuaresma07 The king is obsolete!?

[SuperSonyer]

this videogame is fucking awesome, i got it and im adicted...

[LS1NV]

This is the best budget game I have ever purchased! Better than half of the full price games out there, game is massive and challenging. Hope they release more games like this in future,happy to pay full price for it! Enough history out there for them to do other empires like Roman,Mongol etc etc

if this game had multiplayer it would be beastly!!!!!! i would worship this game from the mountain tops!!!! but for now the singleplayer is fun too..

@zanconsorption

That is correct, when the king of Macedon died, and Philip took command, the Macedonian empire began to give rise.

[zanconsorption]

@gQuaresma07 that means that when the king died the empire was born
