Dumbed down for the publishers. Let's hope the demo is in "arcade mode" or this won't be anywhere near the first two games.

The fact that you can control upwards of 1,000+ troops at once? In full 3D?
#3.2 Varsity on 23 Aug 2004 - 22:32
Up to 10 000. 1000 is a skirmish!

I don't usually like strategy games but found this one rather fun for a bit. I don't think i'll buy it but my brother will so i can try the final version at least. Graphics wern't as good as they looked in the screenshots either.

medieval was pretty good, hope this one is better in the graphics department though.
