User reviews

Like the author's Viking games, this is an interesting and challenging strategy game for those who like a break from Chess, Go or other more well-known games from time to time. Of course, one cannot expect a programmer to integrate an entire library in his products, but perhaps listing strategy guides and similar books/sites in De/En/Es/Fr with links in the 'About' sections of his titles could bring more curious visitors to buy and keep an interest in them? They are well-made and deserve it.

Doesn't work at all. Crashes as soon as it opens.
