Its...

clunky.

So far, its doing the same as Spellforce did. Tries to combine two genres and sort of succeeds, but sacrifices so much. The interface is slow, hard to get through and has a distinct lack of keyboard shortcuts. Information is not where you expect it, or in some cases where it should be. Plently of bugs, took me over two hours to get the thing able to launch a campaign.

Graphics are nothing special, M2:TW level but a bit smoother. Battle animations are worse than RTW. Battles feel small and the battle UI is not great. With the addition of magic (mana and cooldown on spells) it basically combines a small sized TW game (i think the biggest size army you can have is 16 units of 48 men) with a clickfest RTS.

Basic things from a TW point of view arent there. Sometimes it plays through enemy movements, sometimes not, but if it does, no way to speed them up. SLOOOOW.
