gooood

It could have benefited from some of Cossacks 2's battle mechanics; at times, it feels a little too Age of Empires-like—a mishmash of disorganized units fighting one another—and not quite eighteenth-century enough. Still, a great RTS, easy to learn and enjoyable to play online.

Fun game. It feels like a "Grand Strategy RTS". It's slower than the AOE games but requires much more strategy, I think. It's like the Europa Universalis of RTS games
