Ooh, AIs with savegames. That's impressive, they've been trying to do that since I was involved with it...

Also, pinned.

Just since build 17, it peaked my interest a while back but I just started playing. I'll  have to download the update soon and give it a go. I love the concept, it's like age of empires but more fun! :D

Yes, it's great!

My inner classicist really likes the name of this release as well; the "rosy-fingered dawn" is one of the nicest repeated motifs in the Odyssey.  :)

That was a work of Homer correct? I really need to get on reading his stuff.

Yes - though we're not sure there was ever a terribly definite figure called Homer. The Odyssey and Iliad are attributed to him anyway - they're both great books and well worth reading :)

Damn I remember I really wanted to give this a crack ages back but my internet was too armadilloe to actually do it. Might have to re-evaluate now.
