Werll-developed, thoughtful strategy game!

This is one of the few (if only) strategy games I've played on newgrounds that actually gave you a good variety of strategic options. If you play this game with no plan in mind, you'll simply just lose, and that's an essential part of a strategy game. At the same time it wasn't overtly difficult, and as long as you use your troops wisely there's no game-breaking AI perk that can beat you.

All in all, I liked pretty much every single detail to this game. Graphics were quite good (and not messy), turn-based strategy map was brilliant, fighting system had variety, and so forth.

As such, this game rightfully deserves a 10/10. Of course, there are ways to make this game even more realistic and complete, but that has more to with the fact that I really want to see a sequel more than anything else.

Here's some improvements/ideas to consider for a sequel (which there surely must be ^ ^):

1) Have options of bigger maps (more squares, more maneuver room, more armies).
2) This is a no brainer: add another campaign or a longer version!
3) Have an option of skipping the enemy's animations and/or your own (to save time).
4) Factor in real-life/historical battle tactics more. For example, a cavalry charge should not be able to knock out a spear wall as easily as it does.

Really looking forward to the sequel!

Love it!

Brilliant game, really.
played through the campaign, and had to keep playing skirmishes to keep me satisfied. this is really impeding on my exam study, but i figure invading England is more important than existentialism.
one annoying thing though, is the lack of morale related to current events. twice now, I've reduced an army down to its general, had 5 regiments including my general still surviving in relatively good health, and they will all flee the battle because he taunts them. I'm talking 5000 slayed English, 2000 slayed Vikings and still the remaing 300 or so flee a squad of 300.
Its not a major problem, just frustrating after a long well planned assult to fail for no reason.

other than that great game, would love to see something like this on phones, it'd be the perfect game to play on the bus.

Excellent

The game works very well, the storyline is accurate with real history...it's a great game. Only problem I have with this game is that in the campaign, the compter's taunts seem to be far more effective than mine. It works fine for multiplayer though.
