Good Points

Large scale battles


Bad Points

Soon feels like you're just throwing around a number of blobs.
Campaign grows boring too quick.


General Comments

The first time you fight these battles it's quite impressive to see this large scale kind of medieval battle in action. But it soon gets repetitive and feels blobby. There doesn't seem to be much depth to it, and all the fight seems to happen rather slow. It's basically archers, spearmen, cavalry, and you must also protect your general. The names of different flavors of these three types of units vary, but in the end they just feel the same.

Campaign map is over complicated and although has some interesting concepts like the use of priest, diplomats and merchants, it's just not fun. City management is dull, and you will just end up pressing auto manage so you don't have to deal with it. Yet you will sometimes want to turn this off temporarily to get the units you want built. What's worse is that you will often auto resolve the battles because as I said earlier, they get tired quickly.
