Nice idea: finished opponents sometimes leave their horses behind. But the enemies do that too, which is why such AI dropouts have little effect in the battles. But when you run from A to B you are occasionally prone to gross nonsense – some turn right, while the rest prefer to walk around the obstacle to the left. They line up quite intelligently, dead in front, long-range fighters in the back. In the first few skirmishes you hardly have to worry about such matters, as the plot is primarily about brushing a few disrespectful rebels off the map with their own superior troops. Raw materials are gold, wood and food, which are mined in a well-known way by farmers (who are called helots here). Because the total of 30 battles are played in the usual way. Between us: You don’t really have to know the historical superstructure. That’s quite a lot of numbers and names now, let’s remember that of the Spartan hero Leonidas and we are ready to throw ourselves into the battles of Sparta – Ancient Wars. Within 117 minutes you learn everything you need to know about the struggle of the Spartans against the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 BC. No other buildings can be built without a previously constructed acropolis.Īnyone who has little or no knowledge of Greek history can currently take a crash course in the film adaptation of the comic book “300” in the cinema. But at least it offers a currently unoccupied scenario: Spartans, Persians and Egyptians all experience a crucial period in their history. Sparta – Ancient Wars is another genre representative that doesn’t exactly throw innovations around. Could one contradict me? I do not think so. There has been almost no further development for a long time, new games only chew the tried and tested for the umpteenth time. Then I would say about real-time strategy games: lack of imagination has brought the genre into trouble. Let’s assume for a moment that these people are actually right. Someone who likes to complain, doesn’t do anything good at games and then also writes something about it. There are people who think I’m a bad person.
