Smaller scale than Rome: Total War

This game has some good things in it, atleast for me. I like its smaller scale compared to, for example, Rome: Total War. This means there are lesser troops in the battlefield to command. Only 3 officers and their troops and reinforcements if you bring them. It's easy to learn and fun being simple enough. Camera in the battlefield is easier to control and doesn't go all over the place. This means it's easier to see the enemy. There are bad parts too. When you build a ship and move it, it sounds an annoying bell. Every time you move it, it does this. You also get little resources at the start of this game no matter which country you start it with.

not bad but slow paced

Not a bad game. It's a little slow paced especially at the beginning. You start out with few troops and buildings. Before you can build stuff you have to research it. This means the first few hours of the game consist of choosing something to research, clicking end turn until you have it, then building that building. Along the way there are a few skirmish battles. As long as you aren't massively outnumbered these are easy. Resources generate slowly as well so often I found myself just clicking end turn several times so that I could get enough money or wood or whatever to build more stuff. Once I got enough resources and tech that I could actually play the game it was fun. The trade system and diplomacy options are good clean fun. So is blocking a country's trade routes and letting them wither before invading and taking their capital city. But because it takes a couple of very dull 'next turn next turn next turn' hours to get to the fun I doubt I'll try playing again as another country.

Flawed But Occasionally Fun

I bought this game in a discount store. It is fun, and does play a bit like a total war game, and can be modded. The biggest flaw, however, is that the game does NOT account for morale. In this sort of game that's a huge flaw. You can be inflicting huge casualties and the enemy will just keep coming. More importantly, weapons that should be major morale reducers, like rockets, just become.... useless inaccurate weapons that cause damage only on a direct hit, and not much even then.

hidden gem

Loved this game growing up, so happy GoG has it. Much better than TW:Empire, but obviously done on a smaller budget. Much better trade and diplomacy systems, Simple but intuitive UI, and the battle system is very similar to Empire. It is a clone, but it's a very good one.
