In its January edition, the respected French magazine Cyberstratege has published its yearly ranking:
Game of the year 2007:
AGEod's American Civil War
"What if the best studio 2007 was French? With two games released this year, AGEod confirms the excellent impression left by Birth of America and establishes it self as the key studio for historical gaming. It's mostly with its very ambitious American Civil War that this developer has impressed us. This thrilling, very comprehensive and hyper-realist simulation of the Civil War has successfully avoided the monster game syndrom while remaing very user friendly. The whole thing packaged with top of the art grahics. We eagerly wait for the next product from our Frenchies* friends!"
