The Longbow Games forums announce the release of
Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece, an upgraded and expanded version of Hegemony: Philip of Macedon, their strategy game set in ancient Greece (thanks Golwar). The new game is available on their
Hegemony Page for $29.99 USD, or $9.99 for those who own the original Hegemony. There's a playable demo

- Two new campaigns allowing you to play as Sparta and Athens during the Peloponnesian War.
- A sandbox mode allowing you to play any of the 26 factions in the game.
- A new diplomacy system allowing you to create truces and alliances with other factions.
- An expanded tactical system that rewards you for manoeuvres like flanking and charging.
- A new population system that emphasizes the significance of each battle.
