This military game of ancient warfare lets YOU chart the destiny of the war.
Peloponnesian War uses a still-unique solitaire system. Most current solitaire systems on the market today have the player take one side for the entire game. This pits the player against a random 'Bot system, even the best of which have some difficulty giving you the same challenge as playing against a human opponent.
In Peloponnesian War, you get to play both sides, pitting yourself against the best that YOU can offer. If the game system is winning, the player is forced to continue with the losing side. Success, on the other hand, will eventually force the player to change sides and recover the losing side's fortunes.
Maneuver your generals, hoplites, and navies to fight battles and attempt to bring the war to an end on your terms. As you weaken your foe, you create a greater game challenge for yourself. For as you improve in strength, so does your opponent.
The duration of the war and the player's performance determine victory. In this manner the player competes against himself in the classic tradition of the Greek tragedy. - Mark
