You spread your legions across the hill, and all of History holds its breath.

The profile rests on few votes per line, so caution, but the direction is clear and flattering. The art style climbs very high, ahead of nearly nine games out of ten, and the one you would take to a desert island is not far behind, ahead of more than eight titles out of ten. The feel with a controller also lands ahead of most, on a single vote to confirm. Attachment and soundtrack settle in the middle, no wrong note. No marked weakness, which is rare.

Against the great historical strategy games, this is exactly the promise: the scale, the staging of battles, that sense of holding an era in your hands. A game you keep, relaunch, respect.

So, who is it for? For you if you love commanding armies, watching thousands of men clash, sinking into an ancient fresco. Much less if slow strategy and campaign management bore you. On so few votes, this fine profile stays to be confirmed.
