The world is polished, and the familiar structure of exploration, army management, and turn-based combat is immediately recognizable.</p> <p>However, that familiarity ultimately proved to be its limiting factor. The fantasy setting and traditional systems did not provide enough variation or novelty to sustain interest, particularly when compared to more recent interpretations of the formula.</p>
