I love love love this game. Been playing this with a friend since we were kids. The game is still for todays standards really good. I think games like Civ are too complex nowadays and they miss the freedom to do things like you can in Hammer of the Gods. The only thing I don't like is that building castles yourself is a bit too overpowered, but if you want to make the game harder for yourself just don't build any or set yourself a maximum amount you're allowed to get. The balance is also a bit rough since elves and trolls are better than dwarves and humans, but you can just increase the difficulty for those races to even the playingfield. Overall: BUY THIS GAME, you won't regret it
