Haemimont Games
sent us a press release annoucing its next project - Celtic Kings: The Punic
Wars. The Punic Wars will continue to evolve the brand of the award winning
RTS/RPG title Celtic Kings: Rage of War by offering gamers around the globe bits
of fresh gaming experience in the well-known genres. The new game will be
exploring the three wars between Rome and Carthage in the period 264BC - 146BC
which includes the famous campaigns of Hannibal and Scipio Africanus offering
gamers a unique feel of those times. Here is a bit more about the game:
Features:
- Two new nations: the Carthaginians and the Iberians, complete with their
own historical units (War Elephants, Libyan Infantry, Numidian riders,
Slingers, Mountaineers, three new catapult models) and buildings. The handling
of every nation is completely different.
- A single-player campaign featuring the campaign of Hannibal Barca (Sagunto
battle, the crossing of the Alps, Cannas battle)
- A single-player campaign featuring the development of the Roman Republic
during the Punic wars (the invasion of Sicily, the conquest of Hispania, the
destruction of Carthage)
- Completely new terrains, now including desert
- New custom maps
- New music and more than 100 new sound effects
- Players can choose their race while playing on custom maps and the game
modifies the map to fit the stronghold they've chosen
- New unit specials including regeneration (units heal faster and eat more
food), bleeding attack (in addition to its normal attack the unit takes 10%
off the enemy health), rage (the unit increases its damage spending its own
health) and full armor (reduces the damage from all attacks).
- New ways to obtain resources and new upgrades including additional options
for the Gaul and Roman nations.
- Dozens of additions to the CK engine: automatic training of warriors,
capturing of supply mules, aimed arrow shooting from towers and more.
