The Ancient Art of War game description The Ancient Art of War is a real-time strategy game based on the very basic elements of war: unit types, formation, and strength. The game is set in ancient battle-style times before the use of gun powder, consisting of the three basic unit types of that period: the light armored but fast ‘barbarians’, the heavily armored but slow ‘knights’, and the ranged ‘archers’. A fourth non-combatant unit type is also available: ‘spies’, which is only available under certain campaign rule settings. The game consists of different scenarios to choose from, each with a different geographical setting, difficulty setting, visibility setting, and victory condition setting. Some settings may be subject to change by the player. Gameplay is represented in two major areas: • The first is the tactical/political map, which visualizes geographical and terrain elements from a top-down perspective. Here the player can coordinate, position, reinforce troops, and also command them to attack, defend or ambush enemy troops in a real-time setting. Time may be set to pause, faster or slower to make battle plans easier. • The second is the combat screen where one group of soldiers fight another group of the enemy. A squad consisting a maximum of 14 soldiers will fight according to their set battle formation and will act only on the player’s real-time battle commands (e.g. attack, forward, retreat, etc.). The difficulty levels are represented by eight opponents, which include the Greek goddess of war Athena, a stereotypical Russian-Soviet commander named Crazy Ivan, as well as the historical characters Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Geronimo, and Sun Tzu as the hardest opponent. Each opponent has a different fighting style of combat and strategy. The game also comes with a construction set which allows the player to create own campaigns: From the story, rules to the map editor. In this game editor, the player can also tweak troops to the player’s liking, such as default troop formations. https://playold.games/play-game/the-ancient-art-of-war/ https://www.giantbomb.com/the-ancient-art-of-war/3030-2011/guide/ https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/video-game-macintosh-the-ancient-art-of-war/mgHgjJ8y06iXPw On Sale here https://www.ebay.com/itm/186086317476?hash=item2b539bdda4:g:sC8AAOSwtHJhS-P0&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABANCNUmVFrFN2kz0uaK%2BxgldYZrSaZNVdqt346TgzRE%2Fg5H7CYTteWx7IDGnT6r0r14Wod119r60JE217%2B26%2B6A2IadyT1B5tU81ekV%2FlOB3Po%2FJg%2B7cbsyg%2FcjnjUDfFLy05lWVJpL%2FMSr9H1hGSIyDS6NOVTU%2FvuRhe6CkRAXbBKBQ1gO2EEuKloaavpHDNKzZLDUbnpMCmkuboOkwI4eCgChn%2F8dY5lhlCDY41U4ItbdqS%2FYhfjY%2Fap0mjKiOt9GrlStvq9kWaxAtOkGHk9CgPGWkpmEPH1oJfV5fSPQoftja9Sgj0ycmyx8XJ0r0rr1MhMIp4lQeAliQZ1xpxG9U%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM4tf9zN9i ONLINE HISTORY https://elisoftware.org/w/index.php?title=Ancient_Art_Of_War_(Mac,_3_1/2%22_Disk)_Broderbund_Software_-_1985_USA,_Canada_Release WIKI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ancient_Art_of_War Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T6ov4btC-c
