Oooo sweet bubbly goodness. This isn't bad. Best explanation of the premise? It's essentially Risk with some additional depth added on plus it even has a battle system. The battle system itself in the simplest explanation is like paper (infantry), rock (cavalry), and scissors (artillery). Now give paper, rock and scissors passive bonuses like experience/promotions and general support buffs and you've about got the idea. There is also a naval component in the game but I tried to avoid that like the plague since I was playing as France. You've even got event cards which are played on the campaign map to give you some sort of bonus. Such as extra troops, upgraded unit types, creating new nations, etc etc. All in all, it's a simple game but sometimes the AI can be pretty brutal and punish you if you make mistakes.

In summation, great game for wargame fans or RISK fans who are looking for a bit more depth to your global conquest. Definitely recommended.
