I've played throught the Italian camp.

I muffed it the first time (ran out of time

) So I started over. I didn't really realize/ take advantage of the changing building types until it was too late

. I went through 3/4 of the game sans artillery


. And I'm mr arty!

I liked the fact that you have the option to occupy it peacfully or do it the Genghis Khan way.
I'd need to play it more to form an opinion on the ai. I do like the cannonball impact marks from cannonfire. I'd love to play this on a high end system, and turn all the setting to "max"

. I think it looks great at medium. I love the uniforms.
I've done one sea battle

. seems pretty much the same as the last, but I'm not really into the age of sail type fighting.
