As a fan of sim games in general i have to admit i was a little dissappointed in the simplicity in the castle management, but later in the game it became much more involved. As a strategy game, this one is top notch. While it can be a simple matter of defending yourself long enough to stack the odds in your favor by outnumbering your opponents, it can be a very enjoyable expirience rushing out with very few top tier knights and hoping they mop up the competition.I am one of those that judge thier enjoyment of a game on the challenge it presents.While it can be very challenging on certain missions(almost impossible it seems) once you have played the game a few time, and learn the flow gamplay almost becomes too easy.
