no idea but sprites look nice, map tiles maybe a little too plain for some taste, but overall looks good

There are no any shadows on this image (but there are in the game)
And a little indication about this mysterious game... Do you recognize it ?
It's the good old
Strategic Command War in Europe I have completly adapted (graphs, sounds, detailled parameters, localization, etc) for ancient battles (and a napolenic battles adaptation will follow) : I used some tips in the editor to obtain a complete adaptation of the game, and AI works fine, it makes a really good opponent in battles.

Only for nostalgics of Field of Glory 1
There will be a set of units in "view on top" (see posted images) and a set of 3D units (for these 3D units, in current work, I will use graphs units of Age of Empire I extracted with a specific tool). For Napoleonic adaptation, I will perhaps use graphs of old Battleground games (NIR and PTW, see posted image above)

Now, 3D sprites have this look (player will have choice between these 3D sprites or "view on top" sprites

2 sides have now 3D units (in addition of the "on top view" sprites), each with his own color. The name of the mod could perhaps be
Glory of fields.
Evidently, no any relation with another game about ancient battle ; it was a famous and loved game but I do not remember his name, I will search
