I was thrilled to get my hands on this, yet there are reasons behind my rating. First, why do I have to choose between a combat and economic based game? I was under the impression this game included both at the same time. I read tons of reviews and no mention of that. Very limited feeling gameplay. I thought the point was to build up to a point where battle could happen. Here you start off with castles, unless you want the campaign, which is slow to say the least and there is only one battle campaign. Graphics were excellent. Sound was very good. There seemed to be a decent variety of units. Still this is nothing like Age of Empires, Warcraft, or anything I was hoping for where you can start from humble begins and build up (upgrade to strongholds from keeps, then to castles). this game actually did not make much sense to me. A skirmish is pointless, I want the entire experience. Strictly conomic seems boring when there are castles and swordsmen all over the advertisement. I feel like I got conned out of 5.99. = 1 star !
