This game was easily one of my favorite buys back in the day. The gameplay was balanced, the visuals were very good for the time and the use of both rts and turnbased elements was one of the more unique inclusions of the industry at the time. Though admittedly the rts portion was pretty weak the game was overall a huge success in terms of gameplay, replayability, and enjoyment. You choose a faction (each with it's own little differences) and a Hero to start with, as you adventure you are able to capture cities and improve cities, build armies (as well as new heroes), train troops, research spells, spawn legendary creatures, trade with your allies and neutral parties, as well as wreak havoc on your enemies. Even for today it's not a bad game, just dated, but definitely a GoG!
