There is a huge disconnect from the person playing, to the computer supposedly handling everything else for you. You do nothing but fight battles and try to take over capitals' in a province again and again in the same province. You can defeat one army and another will show up out of nowhere to fight over the same city you thought you took. And you can't take the province until all enemy troops are cleared. The Ai can produce endless amounts of armies and you it's hard and time consuming to come up with just a third of what the computer can create. The only defense you have is your armies or capitol's that are upgraded to strong castles, but don't rely on these fortresses. The enemy can lay waste to pretty much anything else if you don't have an army in the vicinity. O wait you hardly have any troops to raise to defend much less go on the offensive.The economy you hire a burgher to create a city and procure gold that's it. Diplomacy is just hype, you don't have time for cause the game is real time even when fighting battles be careful. Religious factor it's niether bad nor good. the music is probably the better part of the game. I could go on for another ten pages I'll just warn you stay away from this game, and don't listen to gamespots' review they seriously distorted the truth.
