    Just finished this game, I bought it two weeks ago. I have to say the way battles are fought is most excellent however it's buggy needs a new patch. Loved it though and had a great time playing it.

    Despite all of my disappontment in this game by small maps and less number of features in comparison with first title of the series, what being criticized by fans of the series more often, i enjoy this game. It is the true hardcore strategy where skirmish battle may continue for a two hours and more even on easy mode. Because computer uses skilful tactics and advantages of landscape.Despite all of my disappontment in this game by small maps and less number of features in comparison with first title of the series, what being criticized by fans of the series more often, i enjoy this game.

Because you must think about resorces constantly: in any moment you may deplete gunpowder and your brave infantry will be beaten. Many fans moan about graphics, though it looks good for 2D, but game have perfect animations, especially of reloading infantry weapons - it is awesome Expand

    A decent strategy game, where the accent was made on a tactical battles instead of classic base building and resource management.
    In it's time it was a good game, interesting one.
    But now it's lack a modern high resolution support and have a problems with running on modern OS such us win10. The score is based on my memories of how this game was played on it's release instead of how it

  1. Using diplomacy as the first line for your empire expansion adds a nice twist to the usual RTS.
  2. A curious mix. Some undeniably strong and distinctive pieces of game design, tarnished by some elementary errors, such as the lack of a decent training program or real in-game help.

    I would go so far as to say that this game has the best micromanagement system in any RTS. The options were sufficient to attract gamers from a fairly wide spectrum, and the graphics, considering the scale of the game, were incredible.
