Immerse yourself in Chariots of War. Build hundreds of buildings and city improvements, and collect 9 different resources such as Myrrh, Gems and Horses. Put your General in command of your army fighting real-time battles under the fog of war. Protect the inhabitans from roving barbarian tribes bent on attacking anything in their path.
The Happiness and welfare of the inhabitants of your cities will depend on overpopulation, recruitment levels, garrisons and food, and by developing temples, entertainment and other buildings you keep revolution at bay. Recruit units from nearly thirty different troop types for you invincible armies. Barbarian tribes will roam the land, attacking anything they encounter. Trade allows you to buy and sell the 9 resources. Different areas of the map have access to different resources so trade is key. Diplomats can be sent out to gather information. You can eject enemy diplomats in a number of gory ways.
