There are some nice features in this game but after some time it just becomes unplayable. Your opponents love nuking you all the time with some magic stuff. Every turn you rebuild what they destroyed while having to watch those extremely annoying and time-consuming animations. At some point they will build castles everywhere which severly slow down your progress. Normal fighters canīt enter castles so they will all just die without other units supporting them. Rangers are a rather rare unit so you will have to rely on (almost useless?) battering rams or catapults which take 4 turns until they are completed. If you are simulating the battles you will always loose them after the fight. Or at least most. Also, one quarter of the map consists of an ocean covered with small islands. It takes a hundred years to conquer all those as you have to secure the whole coastline plus these islands (since they can be attacked from every country close to the sea). Additionaly there is some even more annoying bug which causes your heroes to disappear. This happens whenever you send a hero on a quest and save the game. Upon loading he is just gone.
Although it seemed nice at first this game didnīt turn out to be all that great for me.
