A must have. It's a brutal game though. Most people would be better off starting with Victoria 2.

Pretty fun little game. Don't expect to get more then a few hours out of it.

This is the new best Total War game! Period! The end!

Smooth gameplay with a small pool of very well balenced troops. Gorgeous visuals with a less demanding engine then Empire. Flawless persentation. This is the way games should be made, and it is another jewel in the Creative Assembly crown. They are one of the greatest development studios, and this is their finest offering.
