This is a superb mechanic and a much better way than the one we had before, food upkeep for units is also a great addition.

The art style is beautiful, unit cards, user interface, 3D units and 3D environments like the battle maps (and the campaign map) are truly superb.

The sound effects are amazing, when you zoom in to watch the battle you can hear steel weapons hitting chainmail armour, wooden shields splitting as they block the incoming attacks, arrows whistling overhead, etc.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting and music is decent, not as good as Atilla but not as meh as Rome II.
