I have spent countless hours playing this game. Even if you finish the campaign, which will keep you busy for hours, you can play for hundreds of more hours on Regicide or Random Map. There are many campaigns, and you control armies and people such as Joan of Arc, and much more. You start out in the Dark Ages, then work your way up through certain ages, until you reach the Imperial ages (1400's). You can upgrade your military, shops, walls, buildings, etc. There are 13 civilizations to play as. You can play as the Britons, Celts, Franks, Goths, Teutons, Vikings, Byzantines, Persians, Saracens, Turks, Chinese, Mongols, and the Japanese. This game will literally, leave you playing for hours, if not days! There's even a campaign creator, so you can build your own cities, build your own story, the decision is yours to make.
