IMHO TZAR is going to be a sleeper hit if there ever was one.
It is an excellent mix of AOK and Warcraft II with different ideas
thrown in to the mix.
The AI is good.  It doesn't simply roll over when you first come
knocking with a large force.
I am impressed with the experience for units (units can learn and get
better stats as they win battles or train).
Each civilization has different technologies (with some common ones)
and has its own military forces.
The maps are very customizable and are huge (biggest map is
called 'real world').
The tech tree is impressive in its depth.
Waypoints are simple yet virtually unlimited.
Now, I just need to splice in the song Kung Fu Fighter for when I train
my Shao Linn monks and priests:)
The lack of formations is the only cloud in this silver lining (IMHO).
If you try it out check the version you have.  Version 1.1 has an
improved AI, so I hear.  I haven't played Version 1.0 so I can't tell
you myself.
