I have played this game for years and it still is a very good game. This Medieval war RTS game was very popular for a lot of good reasons. This game has great storyline as it takes you through historical events in different parts of the world where significant characters come into play. This includes betrayal, revolution, conquest and army building. Depending on how the user wants to win, there are a variety of strategies and techniques the player can employ to battle and conquer. This game will teach you a lot about the history of these famous conquerors and I'm sure will win you a few clues on jeopardy as a result of just enjoying this game. Another great aspect of the game is that you can create your own scenarios by making your own detailed maps. After testing out the features in its map editor you can almost consider yourself to be an amateur game designer. The expansion to this game was the same as the original and stuck to its original idea, which was good. The ability to make you own maps and game rules made for great multi-player on MSN.com but also shut down. I distinctly remember having massive amounts of resources which allowed each player to amass any army to full capacity very quickly. Just imagine. Longbowmen and French Knights inflicting terrible damage to each other only to be replaced in a matter of moments just to do it all over again. An evolution to this game would be splendid but Ensemble studios closed down since 2009 after Halo Wars. This game is an A+ and if you are a strategy type gamer you'll enjoy all of the special units involved in each medieval society. (Includes 13 civilizations btw, including the Britons, Byzantines, Celts, Chinese, Franks, Goths, Japanese, Mongols, Persians, Saracens, Teutons, Turks, and Vikings. If you are any other type of gamer I would not suggest this game because it can be work as much as it can be play, which is typical of most RTS games.
