Definitely worth trying, but on a sale
The game is actually really enjoyable for me. Love the setting in early middle ages, we have good variety of nations in the game, missions can be very satisfying and take quite some time, I like it. Technically it is perfect. I haven't met any major bug or crash, no frame drops. Only sometimes I had an opportunity to see a dead, t-posing soldier hung like 20 meters above the ground. :D Unfortunately it is a very rough, unpolished gem when it comes to the design of the game. Yes, the campaigns are very different from each other in case of setting and story. but gameplay-wise there are a lot of copy and paste scenarios I would say. There are a lot of missions which are basically designed like this - "Hey, here you go, some starting troops. Capture this village, then you can start developing your base and capture other villages to finally destroy enemy camp." So the campaign can get repetitive. Also, some campaigns have very complex and time consuming missions, like the campaign of Saladin, and on the other hand we have the Mieszko campaing, which is very disappointing for me. Very fast, quite repetitive and not really satisfactory. But overall I enjoyed the story. What I hated the most is the army management. Allowing player to have only 10 units. I really wanted to create an army with variety of troops, but I wouldn't have enough warriors in larger battles so I just ended up recruiting full stack of spearmen - they are OP imo, very strong unit, can withstand anything in battle. There's no point to have archers or cav - you can rush anything with only spearmen and actually it works the best. Third, all nations have very similar rosters, so there is no tactics, which nation can overcome other etc. There are problems with selecting troops, sometimes you give orders to an unit you didn't selected. Micromanagement - I hate that I cannot pull back unit from fight without retreating it. To sum up, I'd say it is a solid game, but has it's issues. Worth getting on sale.
