I got this game as well from Humble, so it was worth it. I played my first skirmish, didn't know much of what I was doing, figured out that you can build towers to protect settlements, alarm the peasants and other things as well. I like that the game is more axed on mobility, and good use of positioning than on a shallow wide array of troops. The trees are limited, the unit choices are limited, but it doesn't come off as bad because it's more of a balance/competitive level aspect. You could make a decent competitive RTS with this game.

The unit battles are kinda wonky when you want to attack a specific unit. Otherwise it's great, there's a charge mechanic and a morale/encirclement mechanic, like in Total War, squad based units like CoH. You get one Hero at the beginning of a match, like in Warhammer Dawn of War, but don't lose it, you can't make another one.

To me it seems to be the Godly child of Total War, CoH and DoW1/2 together. It got me hooked a lot, hyped to play with some friends, it's been a while since I got a good vibe like this with a game, maybe like when CoD Modern Warfare 2 was released and when AC Odyssey released. I recommend this game!
