I have been playing this game for a while so I thought I would post a review



First off, I do like this game. There are many scenarios to play throughout history and it is fun to expand you empire over hundreds of years. It is also very cheap and does not require a good PC which is very nice. unfortunately there are some problems that I have with the game (though most are small).



There are some pretty annoying glitches in the game. It is not uncommon for some things like cities, castles or port icons to disappear requiring a reset of the game to get them back. The worst glitch I seen is one where all of your armies will despawn in between turn. This glitch is very common for me usually happening about 2 times per save. With how debt works in the game having your army dis appear has caused me to lose. Fortunately if you frequently save you can go back but it is still annoying.



unfortunately leaders are immortal and city names do not reflect the year you play in. Also provinces are optimized for the modern day which creates some weird borders for past scenarios. The gameplay is also repetive with the larger amount of units winning but with defenders getting a defense buff. There is also not a lot of meaningful diplomacy which is disappointing.



While I have spent a lot of this review going over negatives, I truly do find the game fun but I think it is important to highlight the issues the game has.
