but the manual is ok, it's highly recommended to read it before the game or at least refer to it during the game. some unique mechanics, the systems are deep (though it takes time to learn about this, as very little info is in the game, overall the ui seems to be the worst part of the game, mainly because of lack of info (e.g. some unique mechanics, definitely deserves praise, it is still worked on and improved, needs a few tweaks, but it is already a very good game. вЂ¦ ExpandДefinitely deserves praise, it is still worked on and improved, needs a few tweaks, but it is already a very good game. Given the game just released and it will probably be patched and DLCs added it offers a lot of options that I believe will be enough for many hours of gameplay uncovering what devs brought to us. It captures exciting period in the history and it really offers the player to forge their own story and leave their stamp on the world. As a final words this is the game I was looking for for some time. But there are some Let's plays around so I recommend you check them out to see for yourself if the game is for you. As a downside the game lacks tutorials and the online resources are spare so far - for sure compared to other titles in the genre. Nevertheless the game does not require this addition - although I would strongly recommend to buy it in a bundle. The battles are exciting and luck plays the role but it is also rewarding. By itself I think the FoGII probably captured the overall ancient warfare closest to what it has historically been. Now to be honest I am new to the franchise but I am loving the feature. The last but not least is an option of exporting battles to Fields of Glory II.

The combat offers some variety - as terrain is really important in the game and so are generals who have various perks and stats. The combat to me seems logical and balance of cavalry, skirmishers and infantry is usually the best approach to the combat. The game offers breadth of unit types - but mostly between cultures. The pop management, building management, trade, culture, decadence - it is all tied together and forms interesting system that gives player freedom of strategic choice. The various systems really play well together.

The game not only has a lot of replayability as a result but it offers the player variety to fit their personal playstyle - Very complex systems that are relatively easy to comprehend (at least withing the genre) but hard to master. Playing Sparta is very different from playing Gallic tribe or Carthage. Huge strategic difference and breath of experience. It is one of the best ways I have seen that balances player expansion with internal stability. Some of the pros and cons: - Very innovative concepts in the Grand Strategy genre such as aging, legacy, decadence and culture. Some of the pros and cons: - Very innovative concepts in the Grand I clocked around 15 hours in the game and so far I am very impressed.
