Great idea, just OK execution
Bad: The graphics look rather "old" for lack of a better word. I know it's not the newest game but it still could've done better. I love a good story in a game so I do wish it was a little bit less strategic war and a little bit more story.
Tips: Sometimes controlling the troops also gets a little confusing. I don't know if it's just me but sometimes I'll be trying to put groups of troops together to do certain jobs and there's always some men left behind. Also, make sure you don't forget to harvest resources whenever you can because once I suddenly found myself not able to make any more troops in the heat of battle just because I had forgot to send out a civilian to collect wood, gold, etc.
Overall it's a good game, especially if you like history like me! =D
