That’s the fuckin shit. A real danged fantasy turn based strategy before they killed off the lizardmen and added shit ass draconians, killed of the azracs then resurrected them as nomads, before they added fuckin furries and insectoid aliens, before they turned orc blood fuckin green, before they made city gates destructable with sword and claw (the stupidest decision ever).
Superior 2d graphics, superior music and atmosphere, superior city design and bloody battlefields.
The only thing it lacks? Building cities (I like founding settlements, so what).
I wanted to try something different. Typically played Morgan/Santiago/Zakharov and ruthlessly conquered/exploited the planet, so I started as Deidre to try to have a peaceful game.
