The problem with this particular genre is the lack of immersion okay there is the suspension of disbelief the feeling your actually in the game your senses heighten and the lines of reality blur. Well when your micro managing troops and unruly townsfolk that feeling kinda falls to the way side. So what do turn based strategists find immersing? solid control and the feeling that everything has a purpose. As fans of this genre can tell you it's all about building a strategy and riding to success or failure. With this game the options are immense and intuitive. allowing custom strategies from the beginning and lenient adjustment as play progresses this game is awesome!
