As a big fan of strategy games, I have to agree that the game is really well made, but I must mention that it’s not easy at all, even on normal mode. The historical concept is roughly 70 percent accurate, while the remaining 30 percent is fictional. It also features very realistic mechanics, such as army morale, which I really like, although it sometimes makes the game more complicated. Overall, the game itself is quite decent, and the historical aspect is top-notch. My only major complaint is that some missions take much, much longer than you’d expect, and another downside is that the game doesn’t clearly explain what needs to be done in order to complete certain missions. If you’re a fan of strategy games and enjoy thinking a lot — and don’t mind getting a little stressed — this game is perfect for you.

I played this game as a child and I bought it to live my memory of an old game. it came in a package with Cossacks. I don't have many hours recorded on steam but I certainly enjoyed it back then. However on my computer the settings made the game run too fast.

There are games that show how to conquer others and there are games that give you that answer, this game you have to work for it overtime like real history without the years and years and personally I really enjoy the challenge compared to age of empires this is a multi-day game to conquer everyone due to the time necessary to take over everything.

I've been playing this for years now - I only paid Steam the £1 for the convenience of getting it running on Windows 11 (with Windows XP service pack 2 compatibility on for better stability) instead of a Windows 2000 VM. It's a fairly stable and bug-free game - only a couple things come to mind, like often ships will refuse to fire upon specific buildings, but I never read the manual or patched it so maybe I'm missing something. If you like games where you can have thousands of units moving around at once, and like the complexity that can emerge from relatively simple game mechanics, this is a blast. For £1 it's a no-brainer, and my review is doing it a disservice - I just don't play that many RTS games so I haven't got much to compare it with!
