Hail Caesar, Master of the World!
Matrix Games Signs Tin Soldiers: Julius
Caesar, Releases New Screenshots!
Staten Island, NY, Feb 4th, 2005 –
Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com)
announced today that they have signed Koios Works’ (www.koiosworks.com)
latest title in the Tin Soldiers series, Julius Caesar. Using the same
general play style of Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great, Julius
Caesar makes massive improvements to the graphical engine along with
numerous game changes to correctly mimic the change in armies and army tactics
for the time period.
David Heath, Director of Operations for Matrix
Games said, “We’re very pleased to continue to bring this series to the fans
of historic war games. We have high hopes for the Tin Soldiers series to
become a dominant player in strategy gaming, both with fans of miniatures and
with a larger audience who prefer easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master
strategy games.”
Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar brings a
completely new 3D engine into the battle, allowing users to zoom in, out, and
rotate the map for a better view of the battlefield. The artwork overhaul
features over 100 different replicas of hand-painted miniatures, including the
fearsome legions of Caesar himself. On the inside of the game the AI has been
overhauled as well to support a variety of battle formations while the legions
of Caesar have been expanded from the normal block of four units to a more
powerful block of six. This allows you to replicate the power and strength
the Roman legions possessed.
The campaign mode features two distinct campaigns
that no longer occur in linear order. You must defeat the Gaelic campaign and
the final showdown against the combined forces of Gaul at Alesia and then
proceed to the Roman civil war, where you will conquer Rome itself. By
keeping many of the aspects that made Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great
popular and improving it in many areas; Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar
will be appealing to both existing fans and newcomers alike.
