Today we're taking a look at two of the new stories introduced in "The Briefing #2" - "The Depths of Civilisation #1" and "The Acts of Taxiarch Nergal."

Both of these stories are rooted in ancient Mesopotamian mythology, and they leave a lot open to interpretation. As a result, this video is a lot heavier on speculation and theory-crafting than usual.

I've backed the Phoenix Point crowdfunding campaign, but I'm otherwise not affiliated with Phoenix Point, Snapshot Games, or Julian Gollop in any way. I just love talking about this great looking new tactical strategy game!
