This seems to be quite good. It’s like a more complicated Risk, where you can buy troop upgrades and navies and things like that. I think I might like it.

English, motherfucker, do you speak it?

There’s a bit of a problem, though. (Apart from the dodgy translation.) I started a game and bought some troops.

On this screen you can purchase upgrades and extra troops with your tax revenue.

On my next turn I attacked France from England. There were several dice-decided battles, but eventually I completely destroyed the French troops – hooray! – and my soldiers moved into France.

In the old days, all battles were decided by dice rolls.

And then the Lite ended. Yep. That was it. Two turns and it was all over. That’s not really long enough to make a well-informed decision, but I’m intrigued enough to possibly buy the full version. (Though I’d probably get the version that’s set during the American Revolution, rather than the European War version.)

It's quite attractive on the main map screen, though I didn't manage to zoom out.

So I suppose it’s not a complete failure as a Lite – I got to see the game, after all – but it’s a bit stingy.
