This game is the kind that is fun until it's suddenly not. It plays like a fantasy version of Master of Orion 2 - except MoO2 has game settings where the AIs will leave you largely alone and never attack, which is nice when all you want is to experience what you can do in the game and not be forced to play hyper-aggressively. This game, though? There WILL come a moment when for no discernible reason one of the AI wizards decides to turn hostile, and you can forget about the "Beginner" setting for the AIs giving you any advantages. Oddly, the experience where suddenly without warning the AI starts attacking you and WINS EVERY TIME regardless of actual troop numbers and strength is obscenely not fun for some of us. Five tries, five sudden turnarounds of the computer being a cheating bastard. I'm done. If I had the option of setting the AI to "[bleep] off and leave me the [bleep] alone" this game would be 5 stars easy. As it is, I am never going to get to the end, so why bother?
