its fantastic. i've only played the skrimish part of the game but so far its been pretty damn good. i like the idea of 'native tribes' being in the area and making alliances with them, also the treasure. its kinda different from the first two as in before you had to collect; wood, gold, stone, silver, and food. now it got narrowed down to; coin, wood, and food. i find it to be more idiot friendly then the its predessors. all in all its a fantastic game.
