Strength & Honour 2: No Place Like Rome?

By Kieron Gillen on November 25th, 2009.

I'm listening to Nelly's Hot In Herre while posting this. I'm not sure I could get more divorced between the subject I'm writing about and my aural wallpaper.

Oh, I’m getting wise to that Magitech now. Strength & Honour 2 is a rome-period wargame which has a new – gasp! – 1.7 Gig demo available to download. I glance at the screenshot and think… isn’t that the same engine of all those Eastern-set games? Why, yes, that’s what it appears to be. Which I thought when looking at their Takeda 3, reminding me of Sango 2. It’s the icons at the bottom that nail it. Anyway – I’m digressing. Interesting points? Well, rather than being purely Western-Europe-centric, it models as far as China if you fancy going all Alexander The Great.
