Lot's of fun, just do your homework and explore the map before you play. Rebels have a very strong opening strategy available at the moment, but overall the map is pretty balanced. Very much a strategic game the requires thinking outside the box. Also very fast, no room for mistakes! One of my favorites.
Terrific. Graphics are great, the application of the castles/capital idea is perfect, and it's balanced. Makes for very fun and strategic games that don't drag on endlessly and reward skilled and practiced players.
