An outstanding turn based strategy game. Really lots of fun in being able to recruit heros to lead and develop a province, train soldiers, and fight battles. Capturing enemy leaders allows the player to recruit them for their army, as they gain fame for controlling more provinces. Lots of strategy in provincial management to improve the economy to grow food, collectv taxes, make weapons, and build boats. Elemental factors come into play with winter freezing the rivers, wind spreading fire in dry weather, along with affecting arrow accuracy. When invading a province, one needs to bring food to feed the troops on the campaign. Donating food also helps in gaining the loyalty of people. Turn based strategy gamers will appreciate this fun game.
