RE: Just Curious

I keep check the post to see if the computer version will ever come out! Disappointed so far that it is taking so long to produce the game I think back to a Beta I tried before it got passed on to Matrix. I know it's a complicated game but it does have a set of rules etc. [&o]

Disappointed!

I'm very dissapointed that the game only has 20 turns, no physical game manual and you can only play Carthagian side in this game. I payed $53.99 for a very very limited game! [&:] I begining to think it's not worth the money I paid for it!!

Sincerely,

RE: naval transport

The naval transports needs to be fixed to 4 movement and on a naval transports you would not have to unload, and you would have to&nbsp;pay for the transported units or forge at 0 value!
