I have read other reviews for this game, and that is what lead me to purchase it.
First look: When I first looked into it by screenshots and gameplay videos. I saw it as risk, but instead of dice, you control the battles. I like Risk, but did not care to have another game like it from one difference. Yet the reviews made me curious.
During: When I downloaded the game, installed, and played, I enjoyed how easy it was to start a game. I choose England and took a moment to explore the game, and was quite impressed. The strategy is up to your chest in detail. I loved the research tree and the unit creation. The combat is top notch! It really made me thing about strategy and how I had to play out the battle to win. Diplomacy was the topping to the best cake I have had in a long time. It was clear this was not a knock off from Risk, but it's own creation!
Aftermath: Well I saved the game and exited to write this review, can't wait to go back and play some more!
This site has impressed me so much, easy payment, quick download, and fun games.
