This game is fun for those who like to conquer, except in one minor area where the enemy AI will avoid your attacks at all cost when they know it will lose. While this can be overcome using crazy strategies, I oftened just cheated and owned the game's failed mechanic in this one crucial area.

Aside from that, I was deeply satisfied in my hungry to conquer Europe, the Middle East and most of Africa. Being able to 'role play' as a certain country was intriguing and gave me new insights on the history behind the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottomans, and Italy. France be damned. ;)
