Like the title says this game you little control over the characters, normal people of your village are controlled automatically but you can control all other characters. The other main problem with my game is that its on the Playstation which means that its a hard genre to control. Because I do not own a Playstation mouse its hard to drag boxes around mutiple units while they are all moving.

The general game aim to to kill all the enemy shokas people and then kill him himself. THis is very hard because when you have killed all his men you have to kill him (hard on its own) before he produces some more men.

The game has good graphics for the standard when it was released, the game is fully 3D even though the land is a little bland. The game gives you the power to build many units from soldiers to preists and building from barraks to temples.

The game is a great deal now that it is out on platinum and I would advise anyone looking for a decent game to buy it.

    A good start to an opinion, but if you wrote a bit more detail about the game it would make the opinion better. :-)
