As one can expect of a game with this level of complexity the AI can be summed up as competent and unrelenting but predictable and foolish.

The AI can build and launch several massive armies at you, but these armies will be composed of whatever riff-raff it managed to collect on the way. Same with spells and summons, as the AI will simply use whatever it has handy instead of creating a working strategy. Even a completely beleaguered player can work his way back to supremacy by simply being more efficient.

I can't really compare this game to others I've played. It's sort of on par with Civilization 2 but without any options for diplomacy it's hard to say. It's also a bit like Star Craft with the steady waves of increasingly tough opposition.

As far as I'm concerned it's good enough to be enjoyable, but if you want a sense of real action and suspence you need multiplayer. Just like with any other strategy game.
