Content notice: The original text occasionally makes allusions to sexual acts and mentions it explicitly a few times. This is matched in the game text in both of its variations (original and modern), but is not depicted visually at any point. Some of the characters of the story are intended to be (partially) nude, but these have been toned down to keep the game accessible to the widest possible audience.

Some History:
The original novel was written in the 2nd century CE and is often considered the first sci-fi story.It was originally written as satire of common tropes found in written "history" from its time, but has outlived most of the works it's a satire of as a great piece of fiction in itself.
The title has multiple translations aside from "A True Story" including "True History" and "His True History" which helps emphasize the point above.
Features:
- Two English variations: the first based on the English translation by Francis Hickes originally published in 1634, and the second modernized for clarity.
- 21 strategic battles derived from the story's events.
- A selection of extra battles not from the story, but featuring opponents from it.
