Default Re: Spartan / Gates of Troy

I don't think you can compare those. RTW is made for the RTS crowd. Looks are great, gameplay is .. .

From what I have seen, Spartan/ Gates of Troy on the other hand bears great similarity to DOM: Turn-wise moving of armies between provinces, you set up you troops before battle, give them orders and get to watch the desaster when they're trying to follow them literally.

And it has an even more detailed economic model, which I think is a bit superfluous in a strategy game.
