Completed the campaign on Normal difficulty. Did not obtain all achievements.
The game is an interesting experiment of adding Reigns style politics and Dragon control from Divinity 2 into an RTS setting, and I think that Larian managed to do a decent job of doing it. The game has interesting units, abilities, and characters. However, the RTS part is a bit lacking. More often than not, I had to use the cheapest units, because the fights would usually have unfavourable odds, thus causing the enemy to rush you during the battle. The idea of sending generals seemed interesting as well, but they are just too expensive to use, so I either fought enemies myself, or auto-resolved without the generals. The politics aspect is also interesting, but the issues seemed stretched if I can call them that.
Overall, this is a fun game worthy of being a Divinity game, an interesting spin-off that didn't have the best execution. And I wouldn't mind Dragon Commander 2 if they made one.
