#CELTIC KINGS RAGE OF WAR TORRENT MOVIE#
It's like that famous line in the movie Patton: "If you defeat Rommell's plan, you defeat Rommell." The problem is that while it's a bit better than it was in Legion, the combat model still isn't fleshed out enough.įirst off, the battle map is still too small. The idea behind this method of combat is a sound one devising a pre-battle plan to outwit your opponent and hope that your boys can pull it off. The problem is, you cannot control the units manually when the fighting ensues, you're merely a spectator. When armies meet on the overland map, you play the role of general and draw up a basic battle plan, and then watch as your army runs off in real-time to slug it out against the enemy. The key difference between Chariots of War and other strategy games is that the combat model is completely hands-off. While Chariots of War is undoubtedly a better game than Legion, it still has a generic, paper-thin feel to it. In fact, over 50 empires are in the game (ten of which are playable), as well as four campaigns it certainly doesn't fail due to a lack of scope and size. This time around, developer Slitherine Strategies turns back the clock and shifts the playing field to the ancient Near East, allowing you to play such empires as the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Nubians. Barbarian tribes wander throughout the Fertile Crescent as well, looting and giving players an additional threat to neutralize.Ĭhariots of War is the follow-up title to Legion, last year's underwhelming turn-based strategy game set in ancient Rome. Diplomats are sent as emissaries between nations, but they can always be returned headless to send a message.

Players must balance military needs with domestic improvements, or risk rebellion. The citizens of every empire have varying happiness and welfare levels depending on how well they are fed, how crowded their cities are, how many young men are conscripted, and available entertainment. Players take control of one of 58 nations - Egyptians, Babylonians, Nubians, Assyrians, and others - and mastermind economic development projects, sell marketable commodities, collect resources, and take direct control of their armies during battles. Chariots of War presents the fierce battles of ancient Mesopotamia.
