On the other hand it is also worth noting that the game gets a lot of the non-game details surprisingly right. The ancient Greek environment are great - e.g. the architecture, sculptures, decorations, historical locations, etc. They even have a touring mode where you can learn the history of the locations (though I have not tried it yet) Its a great game to wander around in and sightsee. If it gets you to look up the actual history of the fun characters you meet that’s just a bonus. Perhaps that’s another good thread for HN - games as a repository of history. Or maybe the gamification of history education. I’ll stop hijacking Alcibiades‘ thread now...
