You're normal options menu, being a game made in 2005 the graphics arn't going to to be that great, but there good for their year. I will hopfully be able to explain them better than these tutorals.

Now with a few patches this game could have been something but only one patch got out and it didn't fix the main problems with the game.ġ. you only had like what 5-6 factions to choose from and they all had the same units.Ģ. Naval combat was a intersting idea but done poorly. Controlling more then 1 ship was a pure nightmare and ship disappeared without any reason(and yes I mean they disappeared for good). And no it wasn't because it went outside of the map limit.ģ. Land battles were also interesting and the graphics were pretty nice for it's time but that's where the good things end.ģ.1.

When you have top of the line elite infantry getting it's ass kicked by simple militia(think peasants in TW) you know something wrong is going on.ģ.2 All units fought to the death, no morale system or anything.ģ.3.

Every map had a different script but only one per map so if you fought on the poland map 5 times the AI would behave exactly the same each time.Īrtillery could wipe out an unit without problems thanks to them being dead-on accurate and powerful.ģ.4 The AI was scripted. It never took into account what you did so once you learned what the AI did, you could beat them easily. Only way to change the way they behaved would be to use artillery. If you did that, they became even more stupid since they then do a head-on kamikaze attack against the artillery and they didn't care what you had in the way. Yes alliances worked but it worked too well.
