One of the first serious PC games I remember playing, and easily one of the hardest games I have EVER had the pleasure of beating. Regular saves pre-battle / pre-move / pre-decision are an absolute must as the game will remorselessly leave you crippled after a bad battle result. Lost a main hero? Too bad - they're gone for good. Got your Bright wizard to a fantastically high level but he's been instantly flattened by a cannonball? Too bad. Gone. Several branches in the fairly simple but epic storyline and most of them completely depend on player choices. Stay to help the dwarves defend their city from Skaven? You could lose a lot of troops but victory will gain money and a dwarf unit ready to join the ranks. Move on and leave them to it and you may well just get ambushed by the same army and face a much harder fight. Literally every good choice or strategic blunder in battle could influence your chance of having ANY hope of victory in the final battle. I think I got to the end 4 times out of 9 playthroughs and only won once, it was to difficult. Prepare for the most RSI in your index finger ever as you frantically whack the boost morale button during each combat. Tiring, tense, and highly re-playable.
