Longbow Digital Arts appears to have taken a few cues from The Creative Assembly's Total War series for its PC RTS Hegemony: Philip of Macedon.

The historically based strategy game charts the rise to power of Philip of Macedon - Alexander the Great's dad - as he wages war in the Ancient Greek world. The game features a continuous 3D map allowing you to zoom right into the nitty-gritty while you'll also be able to make use of what's being termed a "2D parchment map" to get a grand strategic overview of proceedings.

New screenshots released show hoplites in battleline formations, views of the 2D parchment map and a Macedonian Phalanx - take a look.

A release date for Hegemony: Philip of Macedon is to be confirmed.
