Really great game that is flying under everyone's radar

Open

"Ancestors Legacy is a squad-based real time strategy with a strong focus on tactics. Inspired by medieval European history, it brings to life four different nations and their conflicts, usually solved by war."

Such a cool and overlooked RTS game. I haven't had this much fun playing an RTS campaign since Warcraft 3. Here's the game's manual.

I would recommend supporting it on Steam or Humble Bundle. It's coming to GOG soon, and there's a physical edition for Poland. We need more awesome RTS games.

There is a demo on Steam now, so you can try it for free.

Has a really killer soundtrack too. Longer OST sample here.

I misread that as "turn based" and I got excited....

I'm a sucker for tactics types games.

Been going back to play some SNES and GBA ones I missed the last year and currently.

Thanks for putting this up Vef, I would say it is a mistake to not include the Irish and Scots. Expansion maybe, but I hate expansions.

Next you'll say the Welsh are not distinct enough to be their own faction! You wound me sir.

Wales will never be Celtic or English, the only thing in common is the sheep shagging.

"The British Celts fought the raiders and settlers (namely Angles, Saxons and Jutes)" from Germany as well as they could. However, during the next hundred years they were slowly pushed westwards until by 570 they were forced west of Gloucester. Finally most were driven into the mountains in the far west, which the Saxons called "Weallas", or "Wales", meaning "the land of foreigners" - taken out of: An Illustrated History of Britain (McDowall, 1989), p: 11 - 12.

Just making sure, you know the history.As much as I can see it, by the choice of the clans in the game it is set around this time, so Celts are more than welcome to be added in the future, pointless to be arguing in the distinction since at that time there were only small differences between them, regarding which clan they were in.

It does look pretty good. But I never buy at full price, maybe it is in the latest Monthly? That would be cool.

Well to be fair, it didn't take long for Hatred to end up bundled so... It's a possibility it could be bundle within a few months.

Hatred is not the only game from them ;)
Hatred got bundles 4 months after release
IS defence 13 month after release

On average you have 8,5 months.
That qualifies at not in the near future for me ;)
