Four races - roughly evenly balanced at the start - and a relatively open-ended scenario. In the early stages, two sides have an early opportunity at a rapid level up and gain lots of artefacts (but only one can do so), and the other two have some early access to some higher level monsters. The strategic question - how many towns can you hold?
For single players, the game is aimed at intermediate players who want a relatively long strategic scenario. In order to run well, you will need a reasonably up-to-date computer, as it is a large and detailed map.

I am playing single player and the three other AI's do leave there areas and engage in combat with each other and me. I have not finished the map yet and will give my vote when I do.
