The story-telling is probably the best I've ever had the pleasure to read and listen to, not just stylistically, but content-wise as well.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is simplistic but enjoyable due to the new additions from Sacred Lands, your units are still placed in a 3x2 formation, melee units can still only hit their closest occupied row, and mages are still overpowered.
