I predict... moderately fucked up.
Did anyone ever finish a game of that Vanity of Nations one? I've had no luck with AGEOD. In the Civil War one I kept fighting the Confederates around the Great Lakes and the WWI game ran like ass.
I warned you all about how much a turd that WWI game was. Tamas tried to polish it with BeetShine(tm), but the light of the truth from me exposed it for what it was, Gypsyware.
I think I got 20 some years in of Pus of Nations before my allies started camping their entire armies in my beloved Austria.
I loved catching Lettows near Cleveland and chopping a Rebel corps up with corps choo-choo in from everywhere. Dodgy AI= fun rebel killin'. Squee.
Sounds like these dice are loaded.

Different developer.
Pride of Nations (ProN) was too ambitious for their engine. I hear Rise of Prussia and Revolution Under Siege are quite good, though. Aleia Iacta Est seems like a return to that model.

Finish? Maybe in lifetime ;)
Will buy when it's $5.

It's not my problem that you are too old to realize what a great simulation that game is, under the sub-par interface.
And as Syt said, this Roman game is a return to their ACW, Wars in America etc. style of games.
WW1 was great idea, except it barely worked as intended and AI sucked. On the other hand you could solo all powers by yourself or play hotseat. :)
I don't quite remember what made me quit though. Must have been some serious nuisance. :hmm:
Vanglory of Nations is good for MP, because unsurprisingly AI leaves much to be desired. I played solo all powers for 12 years or so... was interesting. Bid economic system is great for the game, but needed more balance. Turn processing takes quite some time though. :sleep:
RUS was best of them imho, smaller scale made it more manageable, but it was quite bugged when I stopped playing. It was like early beta at release.

So like the week after it is released?
I will definitely purchase it, but not for $20.
Anyone get it? It was released on the 22nd. Is it all Jacta up?
