runs great on windows 11 for me. no bugs or crashes. its a little retro but still very playable in 2026. the best thing abt these strategy games is the never really become that outdated. simple? sure. ugly? eh, to some. but still as good as any other "hex-hopper" as i call them lol personally i think the old graphics have a certain charm to them :)

was never one of my fav genres but this one as a classic still holds up

Played this way back when in the before times. I think it's alright.
