Pros
Pro Easy army management
Streamlined from previous titles the player focuses more on generals and admirals over regions, which makes moving around the map easier as well as gearing up attacks
Pro Depth through specilization
Due to the limited number of buildings that can be used in a town the player must weight their options smartly of what to build up in these slots in order to succeed.
Cons
Con Lacking explanation in areas
The decisions in the game sometimes have little context even though they may result in large consequences, which makes the decisions difficult as there is no way to know the reason to make them or how they will end up.
