I absolutely love this game, especially its complexity in places, the bellicose atmosphere and the need to think fast, otherwise there is a risk of losing many of your men or missing the moment. I also like the fact that the main character doesn't remember his name. This suggests that he himself is actually one of the gods or a messenger of a god.
The characters aren't really that dumb. This is the only game ever I know where one of your enemies can collect your healing orbs. And at this point you feel dumb, because he already knows where they came from, and you at this point don't even have a clue yet.
