Unfortunately Mislabeled
For the range of strategy games offered on GOG, I would suggest that the game's most elaborate part be brought to the for. As an action game, and not a strategy game. As a strategy game it is mired by an illogical series of design functions that seek to justify the price tag. These additional features, the politics, and strategy map, only serve to emphasis how far board, and 4X games have come since the 70s. As single player campaigns go, I haven't been this bored in a long time. Even the theoretical role-playing elements can become a tedium of seeking upgrades, without consequence to the people you are ruling. Credit where credit is due. The voice acting is excellent. The character development among your staff is interesting. The premise is very Larian Studios. The real time game play is novel at first. They managed to capture something satisfying in being a Dragon, and turning the odds by skin of your teeth reflexes. Unfortunately this plays into the failures of the diverse gameplay elements incorporated. Well thought out Strategy rarely is as successful as plying your Dragon against impossible odds and winning through am application of skill from action games. Making much of the rest of the strategy map elements, the cards, the auto resolve function, and the Generals you have, superfluous. You play in expectation of the RTS map, and the rest of the game becomes an annoyance. If they had separated the game to it's base RTS elements, and linked the political choices more directly (the indirect reward and use of cards becomes nauseating after a few hours*) to the type of Army you would be fielding in the short run, and building/unit selection to build in the long run, the game's focus would remain on it's strengths. Because it is fairly fun to fight in Dragon form against your friends while trying to mash the recruitment button when ever you have a moment. The low rating comes from using the word strategy too loosely.
