Now this looks interesting. Cults and Daggers is an upcoming game from a company by the name of Chaphat. It is scheduled for release in February 2015 and the only place I have found it available thus far is from Steam. The description of Cults and Daggers follows:

Cults and Daggers is a strategy game set in the Hellenistic era between the death of Buddha and the birth of Christ.

You create your own religion and fight a secret war for the soul of the world. With your disciples you spread your faith throughout the Mediterranean world by preaching to the people and converting noble families. You and the other cults are the hidden powers behind history, you secretly manipulate the rise and fall of great city states to further your ambitions.

But the Old God's are also stirring, taking advantage of the time between Buddha and Christ to try and destroy the world they can no longer rule. You must stop them by sending your disciples to their places of power and defeating their evil.

A sprawling, deep and complex game which covers over 400 years of history, spies, assassinations, double dealing, occult forces , martyrs , prophets and blasphemers.

Write your own myths. Single player against the AI or upto 4 player Multiplayer.

Cults and Daggers. Faith, Hope and Conspiracy.

    -Turn based Strategy over 400 years of history.
    -Create and customise your own Faith
    -Procedurally generated technology tree and adventure system
    -In depth modelled spying system allows for deep subterfuge
    -Complete ambient music Album "Cults and Daggers" included
    -Single player. Hotseat & PBEM multiplayer

I may just have to pick it up.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Huh. Could be fun.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

...putting this one on my watch list. Thx for the heads up.

If you ever find yourself in need of a safe space then you're probably going to have to stop calling yourself a social justice warrior. You cannot be a warrior and a pansy at the same time   Mike Adams (RIP Mike)

*shrug* neither of the two threads (here's the 2nd ref, (in the announcement news)) I've seen referencing Feb 12 said anything about Early Access...

Seems (so far) like it'll be a full release.

Upcoming EA titles are usually noted as EA.
