Great game but has a lot compatibility issues on modern hardware1 found this helpful
One of the best games ever1 found this helpful
It's an old game, with all the caveats that come with that. It feels clunky and occasionally slow, it can have issues with operating, the story is simplistic, etc- but it's charming, and it's a classic. Worth a playthrough at least once, for anyone who either wanted to play it but missed it decades ago, or anyone who really likes strategy and wants to know the roots of the genre today.1 found this helpful
Very challenging. Very fun. Very Nostalgic
Still getting the hang of it, but the mechanics that we see in the fourth game can be felt very closely here. The jump between the first AoW and this one is insane. The dwarfs are the best. Make daddy Fangir proud.
great fun very stable
