If you are a fan of Civ any version get this game. This is a fantasy setting civ with different races instead of different countries. so instead of russia versus england, it is elfs versus lizardman. The map looks exactly like the very first civ version including the units and settlers. Instead of researching tech you research magic wich helps you with different aspects of the game. Unlike civ this game has a very tactical aspect as well. Once combat starts between stacks of units. It drops down to the field of battle and you get to control your units. Very well done.
