I really like this game. It plays a bit like civilisation but has less of a tech tree and is more battle/combat focused as well as a much better mix of different units with abilities, but still has enough kingdom management that it is important. If you ever wished that civilisation has more combat and more unit options and less “management” this is the game I would recommend to you.

This is perhaps the best beginner 4X ever. It has that wonderful one more turn syndrome, addictive gameplay loop, but unlike most others, there is no need to run a Excel table in the background. It is a trade-off, of course, but that is worth it if the gameplay does not feel compromised. Also, the graphics are timeless, and overall atmosphere is great, as well the spells are fun to use. Highly recommended.

Can't find the manual. Can't recommend a game that doesn't have a manual.
