Slitherine Studios has announced that the 2D turn-based wargame Field of Glory has been released for the Mac. The computer game is based on the table top game of the same name, and uses an email-based system to engage in multiplayer action.

Field of Glory is a wargame system that covers the ancient and medieval worlds, from the beginnings of the Roman Empire to the Medieval times. The game features both single-player and two-player PVP gaming using the PBEM (play by email) which allows players to issue challenges and make moves via email, rather than connect to a remote server. The only requirement is a working email address.

A comprehensive scenario builder is also included, the Digital Army Generator. Players have access to graphics for 11 different terrain types with western European and arid settings, as well as 141 different battle group types and high customization for individual behavior in the game. Players can create custom armies and battles and challenge other players in-game.

The first two army packs, Rise of Rome and Storm of Arrows, are also available, and the third army pack, Immortal Fire, will see a simultaneous release on both Windows and Mac on July 15th. It is available for pre-order at this time.

The Windows and Mac versions will also be compatible with each other, so players will be able to play against each other as well.
