Not everyone likes real-time in thas way, but I absolutely love it, solid sprites and graphic, gameplay is just for me

This game has a special place in my heart, since it came out. Every once in a while I return to play some more. So what is there to like, you ask? The graphics were not very good even when it came out, but it's easy on the eyes. After some time it grows on you. Personally I very much like the touch where the city is not generic for all nations. The sound get a bit repetitive after some time, but it still help you immerse. The narrator is insanely good. Frankly, when a friend of mine had a baby, I blurted "Hoorah! A royal child is born!" The gameplay? It is marvelous! Complex management of diplomacy, city management, field battles. What is more to ask? I will tell you what - difficulty! Even on its hardest setting, a veteran gamer will win in sub 2 hours. The AI doesn't know how to field its best units, how to best manage its cities for optimal results or how to fight a tactician Marshal. It ain't very bad, but the only time I felt threatened is in the beginning of the game with a single province country, when you are at war with a much larger enemy. Still, this game is offering you so much as a gamer. I would have added a bit more units though. Because, let's be honest - Teutonic knights, Feudal knights and Heavy crossbowmen are brokenly overpowered. Highly recommend to everyone who likes strategy games!

Yup, its old. Still good... but simple. Give it a try on sale if you're not sure, or if you own a potato computer.

This is one of the most fun retro game that I've played. I didn't buy this when it first came out. I was busy with other life things during that period. So, there wasn't any nostalgia going into this experience. This game is simplified compared to say EU4 or Total War, but this is a good thing because sometimes complexity doesn't always add value. This game is a good example of 'simple yet deep'. I became interested in this game due to the release of the second game, which is also good, but there's something fun about this first game that the second one is lacking, and I'm not sure what that is. Maybe it's because of what I've already touched on: simplicity. It's simple to pick up and have fun with but still deep due to it's game play mechanics. I use the community HD patch for a few bug fixes and the increased resolution to 1080p. However, due to this game's age, there's no UI scale. So, depending on the type of PC you have, you might have trouble with the UI being too small to read. For example, I can't play this on my laptop because the UI is too small and secondly, my laptop doesn't have Plus or Minus keys to change the game speed. Or a pause key, which is really important in this game. But it works great on my main PC with a large monitor and a full keyboard. And even though my monitor is 1440p, the game still looks fine at 1080p. I don't play the real time tactical battles. They are terrible in both this and the second game. So, if you are wanting a game with this feature, Total War still does this the best. But, the grand strategy elements in this game are fun and not overly complex like Paradox games.
