Play Ten Interactive and WorldForge Studios have announced the development of The Golden Horde, a new RTS game scheduled for Q4 2007 (thanks: Blues). Based on the same engine and gameplay principles as Ancient Wars: Sparta, The Golden Horde will include things as use of ice in battles on rivers and lakes, and use of explosives during sieges. There will be three playable sides in the game - Crusaders, Russians and Mongols. Each of them will have a set of special bonuses. The Golden Horde will also include 3 full-fledged campaigns, as well as a number of scenarios portraying historical battles. Those can be played by LAN or Internet. The first batch of screenshots has been inserted in our gallery.
