PowerMonger has many enemies to fight against which are ruled by their
individual leaders, it has a 'fractal' landscape.  Also, all the characters
(even the individual people) in the game have names, jobs, families and
they go to work, invent things (eg a plough, or new weapons).  The islands
have seasons and the characters are affected.  You can also capture enemy
captains and hence indirectly control their forces.

PowerMonger is much more pleasing to the eye and is much more interesting
tactically.
