GMT Games really gave the design team full latitude (and time!) to work on producing special components for this release. Between the oversized cards, player mats and custom player aids included in the release, I think you'll like the immersive feel into the era.

🙌 My part is now entirely done so this will definitely get a printing slot asap.
Thanks for the kind word!

Nothing Roman/Byzantine on the horizon for 2025-2026. Does the 'Wars of the Diadochi' count? 😜

Done. Didn't realise you had made the transition from the other place! 🙌

Especially when you can - also - get two other wonderful entries into the Series. 😂
After Spain... Russia!

Games came first. Art is a natural byproduct of my day-job at the time and of my love for all things maps.

Absolutely. I need, at a minimum, a draft of the rules (and it's not a given at all, believe me...) and a few play-testing sessions. I'm particularly interested in designing components that make sense - during - play or for key moments when playing.

Awfully kind Jason, thank you!
Had the same feeling until Joe Dewhurst introduced me to his new COIN design. Players compete to align lots of factions to their cause and play distributes nearly across the full length of the map. It's definitely one of the more interesting takes on the series.

Thanks a lot Phil. I'm guessing we can still enhance colours a bit as the printed map seemed a tad less vivid on the con pictures I've seen.

Thank you so much Nicola! I think we'll achieve something very special also with your next opus ^^
I'm in love with the play-test material!
