In the future, will there be campaigns that are even longer? For example Hannibals campaign lasted over 20 years right?

I'm glad y'all have kept it from recent games Silly, I know, but some times its just the little things that get me. That and the whole premise of the game

I'm a little surprised, i hope that a click on the Eagle in order to have information on the legion will have also a legionnaire displayed on the informational panel showing endurance, force etc...

Seven good reasons why you should be excited at the prospect of Alea Jacta Est:
And three good-ish reasons why you might want to temper that excitement:
- Grand-strategic Roman era wargames are rarer than Rocking Incitatus poo.
- It’s being coded by AGEOD, the people that made watching an army of Redcoats slowly die of exposure and starvation, seem like a damn fine way to spend an evening.
- It relies on the Athena rather than the Clausewitz engine so battles – though hands-off affairs – will be influenced by a swarm of subtle factors including army stances, terrain, and leader qualities.
- The use of Athena will mean that those that have Revolution Under Sieged, helped Prussia rise and civil warred ’til their blue and gray in the face, should be able to get underway with the minimum of fuss.
- The 2800-region map takes in Asia Minor, and significant tracts of Russia and the Middle East.
- Over a thousand historical leaders have been modelled.
- The title – if memory serves – is Latin for ‘My Donkey Farts Often’.
- The 2800-region map takes in Asia Minor, and significant tracts of Russia and the Middle East.
- The Athena engine isn’t to everyone’s taste (the army management interface can be confusing, some of its minor rules opaque)
- If you spend all your sestertii on Alea Jact Est you might not have the cash to purchase the Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic Wars sequel that is rumoured to be in production.
