Nice review. I wasn't that fond of the game, but perhaps I was just overly cynical. I'd hardly say the game restricts itself to "the realm of realism" though, given the inclusion of units that hurl fireballs and heal the wounded with magical powers.

Aside: As Fate of Hellas is an alternate title for Great War Nations: The Spartans, anybody know why they have different database entries?

Because of the confusion, two entries were made in the database where there should only have been one. I'm in the process of merging the two right now.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

I blame EmP.

I'm sure he'll appreciate the sentiment, but in this case it was more my fault. It looks like the Fate of Hellas entry is older, despite the review for it coming later. Dreamcatcher didn't mention that the game had a different title in Europe, so when I looked for it in the database and didn't find it, I added it at the time of the game's release here in North America. Anyway, it's fixed now. :-)

Cheers for the adjustments HG.

As for the realism thing: I know, but please remember that Age of Mythology used to be the norm to me, so anything which has less than chimeras or dragons from the Norse version of Hell is tame. :P
