Basically the title says it all. The game has interesting ideas but they don't lead anywhere. You can build up a province to produce a lot of goods but at the end of the day the investment in gold isn't really worth the payoff at the end. Conquest is a much more efficient method - unfortunately a very boring one. Enemy AI is nonexistend and the battle aspect of the game is incredibly shallow. Units react sluggish and it's a very simple exercise of either having superior numbers or exploiting certain mechanics (bring a catapult and win any game). After about 10-15 hours you have seen everything this game has to offer.
Loved this game back in the day. Sadly it doesn't run with Windows 10. Hope GOG can fix it.
