How it feels

A deliberate, large-scale strategy game that immerses you in the slow-burn tension of 18th-century global warfare and colonial competition.

What players say

Players say the ambitious blend of real-time campaign and tactical battles is let down by a slow pace, a baffling economy, and frequent crashes. The battle component is often broken and the AI is weak, while the developer abandoned the game shortly after release.
