Steam page Nice!
LOVED this game on XBox. Was so satisfying leveling up your companies of guys. Just a TON of options from gear to upgrades to abilities. And the way gold was shared it meant you really had to decide how you best wanted to build up your army.
I ended up with some heavy footsoldiers that I'd use for locking up other groups of guys - that was where I spent the majority of my gold on gear and points for upgrades. But there are just a TON of different ways you can go. Cavalry, arches, flying units... and you had to carefully develop / equip all of them while also tending to your "main" single guys.
This is the first game, right? I remember it got a sequel on XBox a year or so later that always felt just too difficult to be fun to me. The first game was challening but not frustrating - the second felt like they just upped the difficulty and maybe removed a few of the myriad upgrade paths from the first.
