Summary

Great brain candy

The Good

It is huge and open ended, so you do not feel compressed into a preset strategy or story line. The depth of the story is good, and the artwork is very wonderful and easy to see for being low-tech old school PC graphics. The controls and game methodology is easy to figure out.

The Bad

Even the fastest PC will get bogged down after awhile with the shear size of the armies involved. The AI could be more aggressive on the military front. The AI also could be a little more devious in it's diplomacy/alliance building.

The Bottom Line

It has no peers. I load it up a couple times a year, which is more than I can say for most 10 year old games. It deserves a remake.
