You must be remembering that I had posted about a free games bundle sponsored by the US Air Force. But, the thing is that the server speeds were terrible. So, terrible that I got a measly 5 KBps on my broad band line!!!! And that too after retrying to get a slot for 5 times!
But after a helpful search and tip I got this link for a Direct Download link for just this game. I'm using FlashGet, and am getting around 200 KBps on this. It's also supporting resuming on this download.
As for the game, the game's been given off free as an ad supported game, sponsored by the US Air Force. I'm downloading now, and will give you all a heads-up as soon as I'm done downloading and playing a little.
The main features of this game are:
Choose from four of the ancient world's mightiest empires: Persia, Greece, Egypt, or Rome plus four minor civilizations: Carthaginians, Babylonians, Gaul-Barbarians & Assyrians.Enlist over 80 unique units to your cause, including footmen, archers, cavalry, siege and massive triremes,
Use realistically-scaled siege towers, ladders, and battering rams to annihilate city defenses and clear the way for the player's ground forces Fight for control of the seas by boarding and ramming enemy naval vessels using massive, accurately-scaled warships. Outfit warships with infantry, archers, ballistae, or catapults, depending on the player's strategic objectives,
Engage in awe-inspiring feats of heroism by personally joining your troops during climactic battles (from a third-person perspective),
Control one of eight unique Heroes including Julius Caesar, Germanicus Caesar, Cleopatra, Ramses the Great, Achilles and Alexander the Great, each with special abilities and weapons. This unique feature places the player on the battlefield as a fully controlled super weapon.
It allows you go into battle along side your troops as you take control of your hero unit, like a third person action game
The Download links are below. It's a bit too large for people with slower internet connection. But, hey! It's a free game and the servers are supporting resume, so why not give it a go?
