The continuation of the quite successful, but not breakthrough strategic game Legion, set during the reign of the Roman Empire. This time we move 4,000 years back, into the period when the empires of that time fought fierce battles for areas rich in natural resources, areas of fertile soil, water, etc.

4000 years ago in the Cradle of Civilization, mighty Empires fought for water, resources and the arable land in the Fertile Crescent. Play the Egyptians in chariots of war, Babylonians in bronze armour, screaming Nubian warriors, and the Assyrians behind their walls of stone. Develop your country by producing commodities and sell them to your neighbours. Raise glorious armies and wage wars of conquest. Roll over the plains in the childhood of Mankind with your Chariots of War!

Chariots of War is a PC strategy game that focuses on empire building and resource management, yet also allows you to view the battles your men fight. The series of games has been called Civilization with battles by the press and its a description we're more than happy to live with!
