GOG says this is a single-player game, but hidden amongst the menu options is an "Arena" where 2 players can choose a set gold value and buy whatever armies. I'm so old that I can't remember if I ever finished the single-player campaign, but it's challenging and the battles can be extremely tight. There is a lot of emphasis on levelling up some cheap units from mission to mission. IIRC it was on the side of being too difficult but it's certainly still worth a few dollars. Modern games often forget that what makes a game fun is its core mechanics, and Fantasy General is the quintessential hex-based fantasy.
