Needs a mute button for the people noises
Good concept, although sending troops to capture that last settlement becomes frustraiting after a while when they continuously recapture smaller settlements while you are on your way to them. However this may just be me ;)
Unit sounds are what is ultimately responsible for the lower score, calling them grating would be an understatement, and yeah I could just shut off my speakers, but the other audio selections (ie.the music) were well suited. I would suggest either a mute button that would disable all sound, or a selection in the menu to disable the unit speech.
