Reviews enjoy the time spent combining troops and equipment into squads. Others delight in seeing a planned formation work in battle: an appeal for players who enjoy preparation as much as the fight.
What makes it fun
Watch your squad plan work
Build a squad from different classes and watch your plan play out in automatic combat. When it works, deciding which troops to pair next becomes part of the fun.
Send the right squad into each fight
You can build a squad with defenders and healers to absorb attacks, one with spearmen to face cavalry, or one focused on ranged attacks from archers. The fun is choosing which squad to send against the enemy ahead.
Rebuild as your troops grow
As soldiers grow and change classes, new squad ideas come to mind. Deciding where your trained troops belong gives you something to consider before the next battle.
