While it is old, there are some interesting aspects of it.

While the Fantasy War / Elven Legacy engine is indisputably superior, the campaign structure is far more epic and the archer units all have built-in counter-fire support (a special ability possible level-up for archers in FW/EL). This makes archers somewhat more useful despite their range being less in FG (only one hex) due to the larger scale.

The choice on how to spend xp teching up unit-types is interesting in theory for FG, but broken in practice since the game is designed to punish you by severely ramping up the difficulty if you don't spend your xp pretty evenly.  ::) The tech-up choice structure in FW/EL is thus superior here, too.

On the other hand, the FG soundtrack is much better.  O0
