Every part of this game is clearly made with love. The artwork is beautiful. Seeing wavy pixels of smoke washing up out of a recently abandoned battlefield never gets old. On top of that is the astounding soundtrack. There's very few games like this that I'll boot up just to hear a specific faction's theme music while I do other things. Overall, each faction caters well to the playstyle that feels right for it. The only warning I'll give you is to keep your AI games to at max 4 factions. Tried six and the wait times in between my turns made my brain hurty. Then again I'm very impatient.
