Tactical game, you choose the traditions and tenets of your religion, those give you economical or combat boni. You choose which stats get stronger through your rituals, so you can win against other religions either by force or by convincing (though both "look" like you hit them over the head) in a stand-off. There are many different classes you can choose for your disciples. The fight is automated and you influence it only in the preparation (short-term buffs) and choosing your fighters, rituals, tenets, etc. I do not understand why some people claim you "don't do anything" in the game, that is not true. Time only passes when you do things, make decisions, etc. It's just not a hack and slash or an x-com fight style. Everything is tactical, very few things involve luck. Some say the stats are presented poorly, maybe that are old reviews but I found everything I wanted to know pretty easily. The only thing I would wish for is one screen with (defense-)stats of ALL your disciples on one page. But with the frequent updates maybe that will be added, too. My first playthrough took almost 20 hours but there where quite a few things to learn Starting now on the 2nd religion type. There are 7 (war, peace, pleasure, purity, greed, generosity, madness). Even the same one can be very different, when choosing other tenets or using different classes of disciples.
