    The music in the game is widely praised as grand and fine, adding a clever and enjoyable layer to the overall experience despite the game's visual flaws.

    • “Tactically it’s brilliant, pulling a right flanking on it does not worry the AI even slightly, it cheats a bit I suspect, the music is grand, the data on what's happening in your battle is voluminous—you can read every word or none, that's your choice. An ugly game but very clever.”
