Good Idea, Bad in Play

User Rating: 6 | Lords of Magic PC

While the overall game idea is great, I have found that it is quite difficult to figure out how to play. It seems it takes excessively long to generate a decent army, even one capable of traveling a short distance from your capital without dieing. While in the version I have you can manage buildings without an army in them, it is quite difficult to do so, as I have found a way neither to view all the buildings you control, nor to view all the armies you have. The graphics are a bit dated, but then again so is the game. The worst part of the graphics is that I have found it difficult to identify the different types of buildings apart.
