Good game with disappointing land battles.

User Rating: 7 | Imperial Glory PC
Good things first, the diplomacy is one of the best I've every seen in a computer game, greatly surpasses the Total War series, where diplomacy is really lacking.
Also the trade route system is a good system to introduce new things to earn money but taxes.
The strategy map is well done, looks good and is easy to use.
For those familiar with the Total War series, it looks like Medieval, the first one, but that's not a bad thing.

Now to the bad things, the land battles are extremely frustrating, as your riflemen will always turn to the next available enemy, making it impossible to maintain a proper formation.
The luck of a fast-forward function was luckily fixed in the 1.1 patch.
Also missing is a way to manually control the burst of fire as it is possible in Cossacks 2.
But this is not a big problem because of the really fast reload times, making battles kind of un-tactical and boring.

But the naval battles are really beautiful and fun to play.
When you can overlook the lacking land battles, you get a game with good campaign map and funny naval battles for as less as 10 euro(price taken from Amazon)
