Conclusion:
Kyklades is a game with a very nice material (all armies are designed differently) and an articulate, very manageable Instructions (6 pages). Since the material is language neutral se were just 5 different countries / languages serviced. Now that's smart. Matagot seems already come up a few niceties.
