Personal review

Un lavado de cara a uno de los imprescindibles de la estrategia.
Un juego que ofrece un enorme elenco de tipos de unidades, tácticas y estrategias para vencer a tus rivales, incluso añadiendo ventajas compartidas con aliados según tu civilización y la de tus eventuales amigos (traicionar también es fácil, y no pienses que sólo tú sabes hacerlo)
Incluye además la expansión "The Conquerors", que balancea y corrige alguno de los desajustes del juego original e incluye a las interesantes civilizaciones precolombinas.
Y las campañas son tan entretenidas como educativas.

8 de 10

P.S.: Has milisias. Y si tienes la duda de si comprar el DLC de "The Forgotten", puedes probar la expansión gratuita en la que está basado en www.forgottenempires.net/.
