Montreal, Quebec (March 18, 2003) - Publisher Strategy First and
developers Paradox Entertainment and Slitherine Strategies today announced
Chariots of War, their new strategy title, scheduled to release in North America
in Q2 2003.
“We are very happy to be bringing another Paradox title to North American
gamers,” says Pro Sotos, Product Manager for Strategy First Inc. “Chariots of
War promises to deliver the same strategy gameplay people love in a new, unique
setting.”
"Strategy First and Paradox have a genuine reputation for delivering solid
strategy titles together. We are pleased about the continuous support we receive
for our line from SFI,” says Fredrik Malmberg of Paradox Entertainment.
From Strategy First:
4000 years ago in the Cradle of Civilization, mighty Empires fought for
water, resources and the arable land in the Fertile Crescent. In Chariots of
War, gamers can play as the Egyptians, the Babylonians, screaming Nubian
warriors, or the Assyrians behind their walls of stone.
Key features include:
- Play one of 58 different nations on a huge beautiful map covering the
entire Middle East including 164 cities and 80 minor settlements.
- Build hundreds of buildings and city improvements, and refine 9 different
resources such as Myrrh, Gems and Horses
- Assign Generals to command your army, in real-time battles
- A Random Event System depicts the era in colorful detail, recreating
historical phenomena such as earthquakes, floods and locusts storms
- The happiness and welfare of your cities’ inhabitants will depend on
overpopulation, recruitment levels, garrisons and food. Keep revolters at bay
by developing temples, entertainment and other buildings
Strategy First Inc. and Paradox Entertainment have worked together in the
past on several award-winning titles including Europa Universalis II and Hearts
of Iron.
