...there's a lot to this game, but not to much. All the visuals and sound are fun, but I guess the old learning curve is the problem that had me back in the day enjoying the frustration of learning a new and bewildering game while the difficulty made it seem longer. Oversimplified strategy, but not stupid.You have to defend yourself, try to head off competing armies, and cast a few spells here and there to get an advantage!
