Alea Jacta Est, another serious strategy game set in classical antiquity, is on sale at Steam. I apologize for posting a thread about another game, but I simply cannot conceive of a more relevant place to ask for people's opinion on the game. This is where all the dedicated history-loving, realism-oriented gamers of the era/genre hang out.
Before I spend my money and acquire a parallel addiction with further consequences to my social life, I would like to know how you feel about the game if you have tried it.
