Amphoterus, our guide on our trip through the states of ancient Greece, will take us to the northern border of Hellas where Greek civilization meets the warrior tribes from the Illyrian and Thracian wildernesses.

Strong and proud in their hearts, the Argives remember their great days and are ready to earn back glory and wealth with blood.

I really like to play Argolis, they are in a great position to sail towards Crete and the other unoccupied islands in the southern Aegean and I very much enjoy these explorations. This way you can gain some extra territory for your distant bases and if nothing else, use your small fleet to conduct piracy on nearby trading routes.

As long as you can maintain peaceful relations with the other petty states on Peloponnese, you can grow and prosper. Sparta and Athens are of course big players in this region and I generally try to bribe both with small gifts to stay on my side, at least in the initial phase of the game.

This is also a great setting when you want to try a joint military campaign – dividing the spheres of influence and then attacking in coordinated waves.

Since the call went out that we were looking beta testers for Imperiums: Greek Wars, our mailbox has overflowed with applications. It is indeed an exhilarating feeling to learn how many people are really interested in and have a true passion for the historical 4x genre. We are not in this alone!



As promised, we read every single one of those applications and have started sending out keys to the first group of them. As our testers' forum and Discord are getting livelier, we feel a fresh flow of motivation to get this game finished, so that all of you who are waiting for it can play it too!

A big thanks to all our supporters for spreading the word and also to all those who applied. Even if you are not in the first beta run, you still might get a hold of the game soon enough as we will be sending out more keys later.
You haven't signed up for beta yet? You can still do it here.

We will share some more news and insights from the development and the beta testing soon, so stay tuned!

Korinth wants to grow into a major power again but it needs a steady hand as its future is shaky.



[h2]Tester’s tips[/h2]
The territory of Korinth is split; there is a small area around the city of Korinthos occupying the land between Peloponnese and Attica, and couple of colonies on the western coast of Greece. It is definitely a very vulnerable position. Losing the colonies would impair your ability to grow economically as most of your resources come from there, on the other hand losing the capital city dramatically impacts your army and general morale.

Take advantage of your central position and try to make as many friends as possible. Secure the colonies and then expand towards Akarnania. It is one of the weaker states so your chances there are relatively good, especially if you manage to draw Aetolia into the war as well to help you finish off the Akarnanian forces. Go after cities and resource mines, those should be your priority.

Attacking on Peloponnese or in Attica is tricky. You have only one city (Korinthos) and it is difficult to defend it when you have to use it to reinforce your troops.

The one advantage of these divided territories is that even if you lose one area you still live to fight another day from the other.

The next milestone is here, finally! Today we open the beta application for anyone who wants to try out Imperiums: Greek Wars and help us polish it for launch.

It has been a long ride. We have worked really hard to make the game as stable and bug free as possible during alpha and with the positive feedback from our testers, we feel ready for the next stage and hope you are too!



We want to call into action all strategy gamers who are willing to spare some of their time to test the game, report bugs and share opinions with us and others on our forums. We want to hear your honest feedback and to make Imperiums the one game you always wanted to play.

You can apply now by filling out the application form here. The testing will run in several waves to make the process manageable and to allow more players a chance to participate.
