Definatly an underrated game.
On the Presentation scale it was good....for 2001, even though 5 years doesn't sound that long for some of us old people ,graphics have come along way so the graphics are pretty darn good for it's time. The sound is still passable by today's standards. The gameplay was simple and familiar, yet interesting and different. Some as simple as getting peasants trained in buildings instead of a barracks spontaneously giving birth to a soldier was engaging at first glace. I also liked how each faction was very different an had their own flavour, I was a big fan of the Wolf Clan. I liked their ingenuity mixed in with some good old fashion clubbin'.
RTS fans would enjoy a nice change of pace in this game. Definatly worth checking out.
