Reception

Reviewing the game in April 2010 for Armchair General , Steven M. Smith gave the game 95% stating that "this is the best grand strategy game I have ever played". [3] Gamercast gave the game a positive 4 out of five stars review, praising the compelling gameplay and editor, but criticising the lack of a "skip turn" button. [4] French-language Gazette du Wargamer magazine praised the fun and short nature of the game, as well as the fact that even modest computers could run it and the availability of the editor, but also criticised the limited diplomatic options and the cost of the game, as well as Battlefront's digital rights management system.
