Forget about shot departure- jich - up peas, ancient art War be clean strategy. ; imposition is to presumed position commandant battlefield and make safe way victory. Instead of individual action or campaign through play, AAOW gives you list conflicts to elected. Everybody is unique. Once on battlefield, your imposition is to incurred conditions for victory. This very seldom stand in all-out war. Terrain, constitution periods, correct formation and scheduling will ensure victory. When conflict ends, you get statistics how much men be taken captive, slew, etc, and squared ends.

Before conflict:

; first imposition how commandant is preparation. Your military piles from four kinds soldiers: archer, barbarians, knights and snoopers. Snoopers move very quickly and can see long way, but is useless in struggle. Your barbarians move quickly and use attack fight, knights drag behind powerful attack, and archer be too slow mover with ranged by assault. In ideal world, she would have mixture of all these periods. Barbarians kill archer, knights kill barbarians, well - placed archer kill both, while good - for - nothing- placing archer kill. Your unitary' placing is intended selecting formation; there's a nine default , ranging from soldiers scattering accidentally about battlefield lines, boxings etc .. Every formation has its benefits for a certain makeup soldiers. As well as standard attack formation for ideal situation, you need formation which can equalize poverty of archeries, barbarians or knights. If you only have you got one's snooper, place him in good standing for easy retirement. Barbarians do best in front. Archer who has people before is cannot fire at friend.In addition to default format, there's a sound financial situation ' - ův listings vlaku - ův function in - ův will do změnu - ův menu. I recommend use this function as soon as you happen acquainted with it, how play operates. In those cathode - raytube, you train your soldiers where state when assaulted or attacking. You must erase default format to be able to buckler new.

As soon as you go to the wars, you pick your mission. Every mission has much variables such as whether village they will supply soldiers with food and number hindrances as are body of water and mountains. Variables be set by standard designer mission, but modifying these standards will change missionary level problems.

Once mission was choice, you can choose enemy commandant. Every mission has standard commandant, but again difficulty can be changed depending on who you choose. Every commandant uses unique tactics, that directly works how every mission is played.

During battles:

There are two main prerequisite to victory: erasure friend and troll bunting.

In view battlefield, you make up one's mind where your soldiers movement, see their state and put them in groups. There can be maximum from fourteen men in no group. If you march your man quickly, their food runs quicker, and their state come down. Once their condition come down, they move slowly and fight poorly. Village and strongholds supply food.

Depending on mission, you must defend, attack, race or creeping your alleyway battlefield. Terrain play to big interest in play. Woods will slow down you, but they shelter you. Fort stunting you, and will train extra soldiers. Village refill your supplies. You must hold soldiers in strategic localities, as are bunting, ensure they don't get taken. Then you must turn your soldiers, because soldiers who are standing around eat meal. When their food runs , they be hungry.

In enhanced look, you have you got detail view of battles. You control your group, rather than individual. If you send everything from your coaming to assaulted immediately, they will destruction. Again, careful strategy is requisite.

Technical aspects:

Sound be badly off, and graphic art are average. Play only it seemsthat the will allow PC speaker strains, that are simply irritating. I'm was found menu and title screens excellent, but land - gamete graphic art are somewhat poisonous. Especially in battlefield look, soldiers look like stump numbers shift across plane flat. Although graphic art she might be much worse - contemplating it is play which dates all way back to 1984 - it would be much nicer to see piece shaping on landscape.

Plane glass surface isn't difficult to understand, but can be incensing sometimes. Mouse isn't supported, only keyboard and joystick (joystick tested). You choose insider scrolling over them with cursor, and writing first letter orders which it seems. Problem: both cursor and good - guys have snow-white beard.

Main scratches:

Play is missing depth. Everything you can do is combat battles. There are no civilians, any diplomacy, third parties, economy or outhouse accompanying. Aspect warfare is excellent, but developers no - didn't add in anything besides. Each other thing is as though because every conflict has it's own action, there be no sense cohesion between conflicts. In contradistinction to RPG, where you follow story with one sign, gaining levels of and moving ahead, this play has little that.

Main Strengths:

Some levels of be too hard, and demand, so that thought. I like this in play. Levels of be right planned, and there it's never straight forward road to victory. Ancient art War is designed to was to strategic play in which the you allot military at the Battle, namely will do so very well.

Globally:

I be truly a enjoyed those games, but be disappointed technical the point of view and rents aforesaid. This play really is 5/5 for some men, and 1/5 for others. You will find this play really holing if you like action, and attractive if you like strategy.
