Field of Glory

For Immediate Release

Staten Island, NY, December 19th, 2009 – Matrix Games ( www.matrixgames.com) and Slitherine Strategies ( www.slitherine.com) are pleased to release a new update for their ancient/medieval turn-based strategy game, Field of Glory. The comprehensive 1.02 update come with 3 new scenarios, 9 new unit graphics, a couple of tweaks to improve the PBEM system and plenty of bug fixes.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said, “We’re pleased to bring gamers a nifty new update to this great game just in time for the holidays. Nothing says ‘Merry Christmas’ like a mass of cavalry blasting through your opponents flank! ”

Based on Slitherine’s popular tabletop wargaming system by the same name, Field of Glory now comes to the PC in a faithful adaptation of this acclaimed miniatures wargame! Without the calculations and measurements required for a tabletop game of Field of Glory, the PC version accurately represents ancient combat where you make the important and fun decisions on the battlefield.

March mighty legions across famous ancient battlegrounds from Zama in North Africa to the battles of Boudicca’s revolt in Britain. Later releases will expand to new periods and new areas of the ancient and medieval world. Field of Glory sports an easy to use interface with a focus on having fun in ancient combat. Field of Glory also includes a map-maker and scenario-creator which are just as easy to command as your soldiers are on the battlefield, as well as excellent multi-player support.

This update is comprehensive and will bring all previous versions to 1.02. Get more information on Field of Glory from its official product page.
