Great Demo!

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.

Great Demo!

I just completed the demo and I'm very impressed. This is a very different and packed game. The demo went flawless, unlike most demos. I'm going to be buying this game, but if it were not for the demo, I never would have.

Thanks for an excellent demo! [&o]

...and I couldn't play past turn four w/ the demo. Have to say that I was very immersed in the game when the demo ended.

Will be picking this up very soon...like today?
