What players say
Love the geography and faction-relative troop types. These things alone, especially the old place-names, are worth acquiring the game. Gameplay is somewhat clunky, but this was the original.
I have played this game over many years and I never get bored of it. Easy to play and fun. Battles range from small skirmishes to huge battles. Only negative is some battles can take hours and you cannot save midway though them.
