I remember playing that game a bit. It was ahead of its time in that it beat Shogun to the punch in many ways and the graphics were better.

I agree though that it was too much micro-management and not enough automation that let it down. The battles were cool and (for the time) pretty far-out but the presentation and interface just didn't sell to me.


Oh and you couldn't rally your army by giving a really long and droning speech and then shouting FREEDOM!
