First and propably last.
Since -99 I've been hooked at RTS genre games, but have yet to find an game as good as Seven Kingdoms II: The Fryhtan Wars.
This game is well balanced, as humans have many options to choose from in building up army, all thought they mostly lack the power of fryhtans. Fryhtans do not have so many options, yet they don't need them, because they are meant for just ramming everything on they'r way. (Depending on the race you have chosen.)
All thought it might not seem so at start, but planning for an battle is important. Especially when playing against human player. You might want to leave an cavalry group to flank the enemy and take out its ballistics and then hit 'em hard from behind.
(Shields aren't just for show, attacking an shielded enemy group from behind is way more effective than just storming at them from front)
That is just one of many strategical choices you can make.
So the game was made back in -99 so you shouldn't be expecting modern day graphics. But hey that's not the point in games, graphics I mean!
So if you are interested in RTS-genre I greatly recommend this game to you. And even if you are not particular fan of the genre, you might just want to try it out. Who knows if you are going to be hooked too! (In a good way)
So, this game is well balanced, with good playability and easy-to-learn basics.
Try it out!
