War i like war and i like pointy swords and powerfull magic.
This game makes you use what you have.
Also as you gain more gold you are able to upgrade the weapons and armor of each of your units. If you units have leveled up then you can make that unit bigger in number.
Having said that there are not just the normal units to contend with. There are hero units that like a MMO game (WOW) can stand on its own or join up with one of your normal units making it more powerfull. These hero units also level up but in a bigger and better way than when compared to the normal units.
Each hero has three tech trees into which it can put its points into. One tree deals with combat on the field of battle. The other handles abilties in duels and the last covers command and support for units the hero joins. So with the right point spent you could make a hero that is great at leading great at combat or jut great at taking other heros out one vs one.
The main story line is the strugle between the empire and chaos...intermixed are the alies, high elves and dwarfs for the empire and orcs goblins and skaven for chaos. Each side gets four chapters and each chapter is a differant world map in which you control and mover you armys.
On the whole this is a good game, there are a few problems here and there and there are better RTS games out there. Having said that if you are looking for a change and you can find it in the shops then this maybe the game for you.
