Summary

Best strategy game I ever played back then.

The Good

Excellent historical detail, and surprising realism for its simplicity. Very simple, and straightforward. You can learn quite a lot about medieval Europe, from provinces, to plagues, to Mongol invasions while having a lot of fun.

The Bad

I would have liked more areas, or possibly a global map, with the option to play the same period in Asia, Polynesia, or The Americas.

The Bottom Line

Map based strategy game in which you must build a domain, creating infrastructure, and stability, before venturing out to conquer others. Excellent, fun, and very educational.
