The hype is almost too good...

I hope my previews aren't too hype heavy. Tried to capture as many sides of this release as I could. It's a big game.

The preview is great.

What is so impressive is that each nation plays so differently. I saw  You Tube run through as Sarmatia this morning ...totally different challenge to Pontus and a nation I never considered playing until I saw its set up.

Something else interesting I have noticed - there is no option to play as Persia in the main campaign. Maybe I missed them listed in that gigantic list, or maybe they are going by some other historical name?

Persia is not on the map at start, that space occupied by the Seleucids. :)  Persia can (and often does) appear as a new faction if Seleucids can't hold themselves together.

You can switch to controlling any faction on the map during a (single player) game, so you can take over them once they appear, if you so desire.

Nice write up of the preview.

The loin moistening is strong with this one.

Once you start down the loin moistening path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

^You are too kind. And kind of gross. Well done!!

That makes sense about Persia. Taking over a rump Persia, rising again...that could be epic.

There is a let's play on you tube of Judea, I think by grey hunter, that has a Seleucid civil war in which Persia reappears.
That let's play also has the Blemeyes pop up as well and a bunch of factions in anatolia/mid east when Antigonids go through a bad patch.

I can see myself making a lot of saves when these nations pop up so I can play through as them as well.

According to Steam, it unlocks in approximately 1 hour  :smitten: :notworthy: <:-)
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.
