Still completely replayable

It may not have all the polish of a modern game, but the replayability is still among the all-time great.

The best TBS 4x Fantasy game of all time

The depth, the infinite replayability, the need to play "one more turn" is still as great more than 30 years after its release.

All time favorite!

I love this game. I've been playing it since it first came out. I have purchased multiple copies over the years until I found this on GoG. If I can't find anything else to play or watch, I know I can always count on this game to entertain me for a while (clearly with 307 hours of play at this review).
