How it feels

A methodical fantasy conquest where you manage cities and armies, upgrading creatures and outmaneuvering opponents in turn-based tactical battles.

What players say

Players praise the classic turn-based strategy and diverse factions, but warn the AI cheats on resources even at normal difficulty. A mod is widely recommended to fix slow AI turns and balance. Some note the three campaigns feel disjointed, and a few report crashes or map-generation bugs.
