Very complete and solid strategy game! It can become addictive if you like simulating having world power!
There is some similarity to what happened in the middle ages. The games gives you a complete sense of control over your kingdom. You can control various economic aspects, religious and the most importantly your military personnel!
The battle scenes can be automatic or you can command your forces personally and dam...it gives you a sense of Brave Heart type battles! Start your archers firing, then the footmen march to battle while you flank your enemy with your horse men!! Its got very deep strategical management for every battle battles, even the land scape can make a difference.Even if outnumbered, if you know how to play your cards right, you can come out victorious!
The objective of the game, being the ruler of the whole of Europe is quite ambitious, but you get a grate feeling when you see your kingdom grow and counting how many nations appose you!! Grete game
Advise all to have a go at it!
