Graphically this game has good visuals although I found the zooming in and out a bit dodgy and I couldn’t quite get it where I wanted it to be. It wasn’t too much of a problem and the game play did seem smooth and quite pleasant to look at. I especially enjoyed getting close to my people and watching them work and tend to their animals, certainly no lack of detail involved there. Even when watching my tiny men fight opposition it was interesting to watch all the swords and battles take place.

Even if the sword clanging did get slightly annoying but thankfully that was the only part of the sound effects that annoyed me, otherwise the sound itself was OK and mostly complimented the game. The sound effects were very useful for things like natural disasters and fires in your city even if you do get a tab which comes up in the right hand screen if you’re busy in battle or finding resources for your citizens you may not notice these very important things going on which could initially ruin your game completely if your main building burns down and you have no more outposts. This being the main source of defence and army recruitment as well.
