A massive-scale tactical real-time strategy game that feels like commanding thousands of tiny soldiers in dense, chaotic historical clashes.

What players say

Players praise the game's scale and sound, noting its similarity to Ultimate General: Civil War and Total War. They are split on the need for more detailed terrain, formations like column and square, and better camera controls. The price of 30 USD is considered too high by some. The AI is generally seen as decent, but there are reports of it failing to attack in some scenarios.
