An excellent strategy game. Relatively easy to figure out. Sometimes overwhelming late game. Extremely vast game play.
This is also the first strategy game that really represents unit scales as they should be. Unlike the Total War series armies can reach sizes of tens and twenties of thousands of soldiers however this is so only because battles are not simulated as they are in those series and are shown as a representation with squares and phases- again an example of the pure strategy gaming; not Necessarily a good thing. As far as my rating i feel that the graphics are judged too much. This game has fairly "bad" graphics, or at the least no-frill's. But they are good enough and just not really necessary for this game.
