From the developer's home page (http://www.evryware.com/index.html): "2500 years ago Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War, establishing principles of military strategy and tactics that remain valid to this day. Every major war has seen Sun Tzu’s book put into practice. Now you can enter the ranks of history’s greatest military strategists. Apply Sun Tzu’s teachings and your own insights to defeat the enemy in a series of military campaigns. There is only one problem – you will be fighting against Sun Tzu himself! The Ancient Art of War 2 is a completely re-written update of the original Ancient Art of War first published in 1984."
