Not what I thought it was going to be.
The catapults actually had people mounting up rocks to hurl at buildings. Touche. Not many games did that at its time. You could also have battles on walls after wheeling siege ladders to them, this however is even more of a rarity. All accompanied by a nice and cheap $19.99 price tag.
As I played it for the first time, I found many confusing details and systems in to what I thought was going to be an effective ripe-off of Age Of Empires. The game turns out to be completely different to my disliking, and in a way, seems to share it combat system with Rome: Total War.
Although this game could appeal to some, I just think its missing something that could have made it great. Thank God I kept the receipt.
