Well, it depends who you are. I personnally love it but if you wanted huge battles then you sadly will be dissappointed

While the diplomacy is extremely in depth the and the battles are nice, the graphics of the units up close are not what they could or should be. Unlike Rome Total War where the AI was awful with diplomacy, in this game it is a MUST! And that is what I love so much about the game, how in depth it is. I will say that you can not do all of it in one campaign. As for the military aspect of it, it is very new but if you wanted huge battles (like what Cossacks 2 promised but failed in), then there will be a minor to moderate gap in the gameplay for you. The naval battles are beautiful in the way of graphics but become very chaotic very fast on many occasions. Overall it is a game that is 100% worth buying especially since the other options for games in this era are games like Cossacks. Many people will crash it for being not "up to Rome Total War standards, but don't believe them. This game has many features that exceed what RTW had.
