I bought this game after watching a "Let's Play" on the internet and I must say I'm not disappointed with this purchase! The game is a bit complex at first with lots of settings and information to manage, fortunately the tutorials are well explained and finally gets to teach himself on the job after a few disastrous attempts to conquer Britain, for example in my case! The only downside is that I will put the translation into French rather rough ... but I will not remove a star for that because you can change the language of the game. In short a very good strategy game!
