This is a highly playable and fun tactical wargame. It features a diverse array of races and requires you to analyze terrain advantages and disadvantages to choose different locations as your primary battlefield. The campaign storyline is engaging. However, there's an issue with the probability mechanics: sometimes attacks with a 60% or 70% success rate still fail. Maybe it's just my bad luck? On the bright side, the save feature is great. Saving before each battle allows many soldiers to survive. The downside is that loading can be quite tedious. But once you beat all the difficult campaigns, you'll have a near-perfect understanding of the game.

Certain factions definitely feel weaker than other ones, and there are two that definitely feel a lot stronger than the rest. It's not enough to put me off the game, though, and it's not always enough to notice (especially against the AIs, as if you play a lot of the campaigns, you'll be used to going into the batt…
