This game seemed somewhat interesting so i decided to play the tutorial campaign.
Mission 2: The enemy has several ranged units that can "ambush" yours. They teleport to an unseen location and if your unit moves into range they get a free attack that deals double damage. The AI did this with 2 units that instakilled my crusader-guy, so i lost pretty badly. I've played dozens of strategy games and have completed Age Of Wonders 2, 3 and Shadow Magic, XCom Enemy Within, Company of Heroes, Europa Universalis 3, Hearts of Iron 2, etc. So yeah, if i lose the second tutorial mission you've messed up pretty badly as a developer.
Being very forgiving, i decided to start the game again and try a simple battle against the AI. After i summoned a building i was unable to control my units, so i quit. For good this time.
Did i mention that there's a lengthy "creating the battlefield" animation that can't be sped up or skipped? And that the game runs poorly even on a fairly decent machine? And that you have to hold Ctrl to read what i selected unit's abilities do? And that it doesn't show how far …

And that it doesn't explain how Action Points are distributed? Et cetera.
Don't bother.
