Batheo! for the other team...

Today's time waster is BATHEO!

Described as 'a 2D city building browser-based game that requires players to play in a persistent world with smart strategy and tactics'. In layman's terms; you have to run a fantasy city whilst sending your troops off to war juggling the politics of city maintenance with the hardships of war.

Thankfully not blocked at work it adds a bit more depth than the usual office time waster games. Since you open an account (using my work email no less) any progress can be saved and continued. Thus I feel this is going to keep me occupied for some time! Maybe even all the way to the summer.

You start by selecting your first hero; You can have lionhearted knights, Beowulf, Roman gladiators, even Robin Hood! I obviously choose the babe with a bow and arrow. As a leader I felt she had the best assets to lead my soldiers to victory.



Orianthi proved herself to be a loyal follower as she guided me through the tuition before I sent her off to take on the forces of Perseus. I don't know exactly why I was at war with him, possibly because of the awful 3D conversion in Clash of the Titans (2010), and I don't know why his enemies from Greek mythology were fighting at his side on this occassion. But Ori (as she's affectionately know) quickly dispatched Calibos, Io and Medusa amongst others and even won over the support of Bellerophon with her dashing heroics.


The final battle was swift and ShawZy had won the day. Perseus was recruited to the cause and the long white sails were unfurled once more as the ships headed to join the Trojan War. I don't think much work will be done tomorrow. Thank the Gods it's casual friday!
