This game is one of the best free games I have ever played in my life
This game is one of the best free games I have ever played in my life. It can be played on an inmense amount of devices (I first played it on a Raspberry Pi) and offers simple-looking, yet very strategic gameplay, easy to play and incredibly hard to master. The lore included is very interesting aswell, the possibilities are endless. You can play as almost every fantasy faction. But the truth is that the best of this game is its AWESOME community. You will find a sheer amount of extra goodies online, as the game is open source, and you might even add some content yourself. Your very own grain of sand of this great, great game. What are you waiting for?

This game came out in June 2003, almost 19 years a go as of the time I'm writing this review
This game came out in June 2003, almost 19 years a go as of the time I'm writing this review. It has always been free and open-source. I first started playing this game in 2005, and it is nothing short of miraculous that this free game is still getting updates, still getting new content, and is still as incredibly fun as it always has been. If anything I'm enjoying it more now today than ever. I 100% recommend this game - it was a big part of developing my love for TBS games as a teenager, and still remains strongly in my top strategy games of all time. I've spent hundreds of hours in the standalone version, and am happy to recently rediscover it on Steam. The concept is incredibly simple, the rules are incredibly simple and the game is easy to learn - but with that simplicity comes an incredible depth, and a challenging A.I keeps things fun. It is a game you can learn overnight, but still have not mastered after years of playing. Thank you David White, and the fantastic modding community, for creating this experience and keeping it alive for so many years.
