Hah, Deride beat me to it!

Some highlights from the ACG review:

"The historical detail in the on-disk manual, the accurate colors and weaponry of the in-game figures, and the overall game system itself is homage to 25mm wargaming."

"The audio, in contrast, is excellent. Units clash with swords, march with the sounds of sandaled feet, and the Greek music is stirring and evokes images of Corinthian columns, desperate battles and marching armies. It is one of the best soundtracks for any game I have heard since Paradox�s Europa Universalis II."

"The AI is very competent and challenging without cheating-a rarity in many of the games currently on the market."

4.5/5 Stars in Documentation
5/5 Stars in Audio
5/5 Stars in Historical Context
and as D said, 4/5 Overall!

Thank you to Armchair General for their review and to Koios for creating such a great product!
