The game features a dynamic event card system that enhances replayability and simulates the unpredictable nature of warfare, encouraging players to adapt their strategies.

music

Players express frustration with the game's sound design, particularly the inability to mute intrusive sound effects like "clicks" and "swooshes," which overshadow the music. This limitation detracts from the overall experience, as it prevents players from enjoying the soundtrack without being overwhelmed by loud and cheesy audio effects.
- “Even if you turn off all the sound effects, you still hear all the annoying 'clicks,' 'swooshes,' and 'rattles' as you play the game. When selecting units, moving them, and engaging in battle, we must be able to turn all that off if we desire it. As it stands, we have to endure these sounds whether we want to or not, which makes it impossible to enjoy the music while playing because our ears get overwhelmed by the loud, cheesy sound effects.”
