This game had a lot to its name to be a great RTS.
Unfortunately, the battle sequences are way too fast to make room for any tactical management. There is no real way to pause them to give orders to your troops, to alleviate this shortcoming.
Also, the AI cheats relentlessly and pointlessly, building the most expensive castles out of ransacked and empty peasant villages conquered just one turn before.
I would say that the game entertained me for a good while, but there are much better alternatives on the market today, even among "good old games".
I've played this game for decades. I first played it when I was just a child, after finding this on cd-rom. I've played through it numerous times, and sadly, I can only come to one conclusion:
This game is a waste of time and patience.
After the first two maps, you find yourself doing the exact same thing over and over again. Invading minuscule territories filled with hundreds of fighters who will combat you to the death, leaving you with worthless wastelands that need years of TLC to return to their original worth. Your opponents always have tons of weapons at their disposal, and always (ALWAYS) find a way to attack you at the worst possible moment. They never fight one another in any meaningful sense, preferring to pass through neighbouring counties to attack YOU. Wolves, droughts, floods, famine, rats, and so many other "random" events hammer you season after season, softening you up for the eventual 1000-peasant bum-rush by the closest AI.
I've tried to like this game, I've tried. Goodness knows I've tried. But I can't. The armies are worthless to control on the map unless you scale down the speed to a snail's pace, everyone gets to act MUCH quicker then you, forcing you to be constantly on the defensive.
I'd like to say to buy this game. But unless you enjoy hours of frustrating gameplay, followed by miserably cheap AI who somehow always find all the resources they need in a snap, avoid this game.
