I only recommend it for nostlgic & for old RTS style funs Overall i would recommend this game for any player who wants a good world war 1 strategy game and wants a good sequel to the men of war original.However this game is still undergoing developing so many things are prone to change to better (or to worse).

If you love history and wanted to command those WWI battles you loved learning about this game will not disappoint, it's like playing with digital toy soldiers like we did with the plastic ones when we were kids.

Before you purchase this game, keep in mind that it is quite old, and the graphics are not up to date. Battle of Empires, or BoE, is a very fun and entertaining game that you can play for hundreds of hours on single player alone. It is pretty much Men of War but focused on the first world war instead of the second. Many different vehicles, guns, emplacements and missions. Only down side being the paywall behind most of the missions. Other than that, it is a very solid game that deserves to be more well known than it's current state.
