Doesn't get enough love. It's got so many things in it that you wouldn't normally find in other traditional RTS games: 1) Send spies to your enemies and burn down their farms and castle walls 2) Send a succubus down to your enemy's town and distract the male villagers 3) Recruit a shaman that can turn trees, rocks or gold into huge golems 4) Kill the enemy carts carrying their resources and steal it with a villager and bring it back to your base 5) Build a faction on the fly. Unlike other RTS games where you choose your faction before the match, in this one your choose it by building certain buildings in order to align with a certain faction or religion. Those are just some of the fun things you can do in this game. The only negatives I can think of is that the naval combat is not very good (although it's not a big part of the game so it's not an issue) and the final mission in the campaign is so hilariously imbalanced it's almost impossible to do it without cheesing it (you can do it by spamming barbarians and burning down their townhalls).
