Thank you Slitherine and Matrix

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War is a new and innovative turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of the Carthaginian military during a period of total war over land and sea with the young Roman Republic. With this military juggernaut of the ancient world at your disposal, you will vie for control over Italy, Carthage, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea using a combination of strategic political maneuvering and sheer tactical skill both on land and sea. Play consists of two layers; the first is a strategic layer where you must prudently steer your forces to the destruction of Rome’s army and the ultimate destruction of the Republic and city itself. At your disposal are a variety of unit types and historical commanders from which to form your armies. On the tactical scale, when meeting the enemy in battle, skilled leadership and a knack for war come into play as you use a simple but engaging battle system to best your opponents.

Finally got the game via the Slitherine discount coupon included in the newsletter. The price ($20) is now just right for me who initially stayed in the sidelines. Thanks.

I'm now going though the tutorial and I love the look and the feel of the game. Looking forward to play the campaign!

I can't help but feel that Matrix would actually increase their business by lowering the price of their games.

And these spambots are a nuisance, every forum seems to be full of them.

I agree. Even though I ended up buying Hannibal at full price, I think the game would benefit from a price reduction. Of the many Matrix games I think look interesting, I've only bought very few. Maybe there is some sort of ideological opposition to lowering prices here, as it makes no sense to refuse to consider a price reduction for a years old game.

This game is worth $70 IMHO. Look - this sort of thing appeals to more mature gamers who presumably are somewhat better off than the typical Battlefield 3 player.

I just want these guys to stay in business. SO you're right in one sense: It'd be interesting to see if they could actually make more by charging a bit less.

I know one thing: Anyone who plays this game once will be hooked forever. A real classic.

I have bought this game after I have read very positive reviews about the game design and AI in other forums and I'm more  amazed about the work done after I have played the game 2 days full.  congratulations I hope  future games will be in the horizon with  more assertive map but with the same excellent design of rules and the AI.
