Strategy First pumps out another strategy game.

Publisher Strategy First, developers Paradox Entertainment, and Slitherine Strategies announced today that Chariots of War, their new strategy title, has shipped to retail stores nation wide.

“Strategy gamers will love what Chariots of War has to offer,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing for Strategy First Inc. “Paradox and Slitherine Strategies have a strong reputation for bringing quality titles to the market and this one is no exception.”

4000 years ago in the Cradle of Civilization mighty Empires fought for water, resources and the arable land in the Fertile Crescent. In Chariots of War, gamers can play as the Egyptians, the Babylonians, screaming Nubian warriors, or the Assyrians behind their walls of stone.

Key features include:
- Play one of 58 different nations on a huge beautiful map covering the entire Middle East including 164 cities and 80 minor settlements.
- Build hundreds of buildings and city improvements, and refine 9 different resources such as Myrrh, Gems and Horses.
- Assign Generals to command your army, in real-time battles.
- A Random Event System depicts the era in colorful detail, recreating historical phenomena such as earthquakes, floods and locusts storms.
- The happiness and welfare of your cities’ inhabitants will depend on overpopulation, recruitment levels, garrisons and food. Keep revolters at bay by developing temples, entertainment and other buildings.
