Diving into this masked intrigue means accepting a long narrative thread where each political arc unfolds slowly, punctuated by demanding tactical battles. Tending your formations, taking on optional skirmishes and following the story's ramifications flesh out the crossing, and this entry keeps its status as a generous, finely written interactive novel.
