Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
In spite of its shortcomings, the game really shines on how fluid and dynamic it can be, fighting in many fronts at the same time, in a huge map of Italy, while at the same time managing a vast empire's production and logistics, all wrapped up in a brilliant and immersive art style.

Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
One last CON is the lack of multiplayer, this game would be interestingly fun to play with a friend, hopefully that's going to be a thing for Hegemony III

Effective use of art design, map, and music to create good ambience.
