Chariots of War: We Welcome our Babylonian Overloads

So, those in the knowhow, this game was released in 2003 and is a game, I think coming from a historical background, of a period of time that is ignored in the gaming world. I don't know why, but its one of the most interesting periods from the rise of the Egyptians to the Hitties and other empires rising and falling. Who has played this game and enjoyed it? I myself play as either the Dahea or the Babylonians which is harder to do.

Here is a wiki for those interested.

    Those screenshots looked an awful like Legion to me, according to the wiki this game was made by the same company, Slitherine Strategies. Legion is kind of a neat idea, you issue all your battle commands before the battle starts, after that the armies clash except for all encompassing orders like full retreat or whatever. However, I found the game itself somewhat lacking. I was kind of expecting a successor to Centurion and Legion did not deliver. It looks like they've developed quite a few games since then, but uh, History: Ice Road Truckers for the iPhone? :(

    It's uh, not so hot. I played it for about 2 hours then uninstalled it. I haven't touched it since.

    Chariots of War uses the same engine as well. Pretty much the exact same game, only covering a different time period/unit set.
