 Great concept but too hard September 17, 2007
This game is not for the faint of heart. Its an older game so dont expect superb graphics.. but then again graphics don't make every game.
The concept of this game is great and was done much better in the 'sequel' Warhammer : Dark Omen. In this game you command a mercenary army and control it during battles. Over time more and more 'units' join your army. The problem is affording the upkeep for the army... and you are not supplied sufficient reinforcements for the massive number of casualties you will incur. At first it is of reasonable difficulty but within a dozen battles you are almost at impossible odds.
If you are a hardcore fan of strategy games, try it out, but I highly suggest Dark Omen over this as it maintains a challenge, but not impossibility.

Its been nearly 10 years now, since i got this game. And to the date this is one of the best RTS games i played on computer. Yeah, by now it wont work with Win2000 or WinXP (well it was released back in days of Win 3.11 - what you expected?), and graphics is not as cool right now. But its still fun to play, its still challenging one's mind.

First, let's get something straight. This game is ALL about strategy, NOT graphics, not shoot'm up, not AD&D. It is about commanding an army of increasing size on the field of battle, of knowing which units to pit against which types of enemy troops, of taking advantage of the terrain and using surprise. To that end, it is a fantastic game, IMO. You will not finish this game in one night, probably not in one month. The scenarios get increasingly difficult. The biggest thing you need to realize about this game is that it is much, MUCH wiser to play defensively and let the enemy come to you. One major caveat is the complexity of the user interface. It will take quite a while to get used to, and even then it isn't ideal. You cannot micromanage the entire battlefield, you need to trust that some of the units can do their job, trust in the battle plan you drew up, and support the other units with a few easy to manage but powerful units. Overall, a fantastic strategy game, only the awkward and complex interface keep it from scoring 5 stars.

This is a pretty fun game overall, but the grafixs could use some major improvement. The sound and music of this game are OK,
but i have definately seen better. But if u like games like this i would also recommend C&C Generals or any of the other games in that series.
