Is it still worth playing?

This real time strategy game for Windows, set in a fictional medieval age, is about conquering neighboring kingdoms and destroying every trace of them, or only their castles, depending on the mode. You choose one of three races, European, Asian or Arabian, which differ mainly in their special buildings and available troops, and produce many kinds of buildings and characters. Four resources are gathered: food, wood, stone and gold, and food comes from harvesting crops, milking cows or killing them for meat, and from fishing where the map has lakes or rivers. A kingdom built from crops and cows is still a place to start commanding today.
