Love that game! Fantastic and reliable historical (cold war) science fiction world, mechanic like RTS, but you can develop your ever soldier. Also, you can lost your every soldier. RTS when you take care about your people, even you like them. Lost of them is hard. RTS when you can change profession of your units, reaserch new technology. In the game are briliant stories for USA and Soviet Union. The lector's work is perfect, the graphic is nice even now, but the game is old. I have a few games I back after finish them and Original War is in my top 10 this games.
Graphic is briliant, turn base strategy with very interesting mechanics, for example I can throw a vial with poision, so I created a toxic cloud, and next step, I can use fire arrow to explosive it, and add burning for enemies. Or I can crash barrel with water, and froze it, so I have ice on the ground and there is a chance to fall down and lost turn for every unit going through this area. Of corse there are everything what we love in the RPG game. Well writen story, increase of characters, new skills, ubgrade wepons, make decisions. For me is perfect to play with my friend or girlfriend, really nice time together. I recomend!
Perfect connection this two tactic games, very nice pirate's climate. I can recomend if you have half hour for break, sometimes a little more time, it is enough for one pirate's expedition. It includes a few battles and a few buying new equipments parts
Very nice game, it was the best game of my childhood, perfect to play with my brother or friends by hot seat option. For me it is more dificult than H3, no mercy if you made a mistake, hard to collect gold and hire all troops, if you have a lot of castels. One big minus of the game, your enemies will atak your ranger troops if they be able to do this.
In this game you have a lot of small problems, diferent in every time you play, you don't have a full tech tree, so you need to find diferent solution the same problems, you have a few kind of workers with diferent needs and a few type of grounds. It is a revolution of city builder games. And you don't build your city per one hour and destroy your enemy per 2 hours like in The Settlers, your job is build working city, discover new areas with unknown issues and you have to do this on time, becasue the queen is looking at your efforts. A perfect game for me, I can recomed and establish a quality mark:)
