The game itself is decent, with some annoying parts (for example the horrendous zoom level, MMO aspects, bad console UI in PC version etc.), but what is absolutely terrible is the greed in this game. Price itself is insane 90E (with the FOMO entire first weekend of playing the deluxe edition should’ve been called standard edition and the standard should’ve been called peasant edition or something), but they also have every possible monetization layer implemented as well. Game should’ve been free to play with battle pass every 3 months and mtx shop. Monetization is their absolute priority, no doubt about that and it will ruin the game sooner all later. Chances that they will put in some sort of p2w, forced MMO aspects to incentivize buying cosmetics, or even locking content behind pay wall is very high with these people.

I have almost 1k hours in this game so its quite sad to see that bad choices of devs drove this game to the ground, its literally dead now with 1 full server (at best), that is always dominated by the same people.

It is very good in many aspects, but unfortunatelly AI is awful making it lot less enjoyable than it could be.

Now I get why they didn't really market this game and didn't want reviews on release...game is dumbed down joke..there are mobile games more complex than this. Crazy that same company did Anno 1800, which is great (even though it costs like 200E with all the DLCs). 2 points for the nice visuals. Games these days are just garbage, especially AAA.

Another shallow DLC platform yey. After 10 hours it already feels boring and unfinished. Looks pretty tho, better than CK3.

The game can be somewhat fun, but if you play games like I do for challenge, dont play **** so ridiculously easy (even on authentic difficulty) and the Ai is even worse than in Civilization 6 (It really is terrible, its mind blowing).

95% reviews for a game, that does: - not support 21:9 in 2022 (LOL) - has terrible optimization - doesnt even automatically change key promts from controller to keyboard when you play on PC (are devs this lazy?) Game itself looks pretty dated - visuals are mediocre, AI is horrible, animations looks like from 2010. I miss times when reviews actually were objective.

The game is good, but has quite a few annoyances: - Bugs - Poor pathfinding - Clunky UI - Some poor design choices (who puts camera rotate to x/z??) - Legion battles are very underwhelming 2D minigame where choices almost dont matter (bigger army wins) - Some mechanics could be better explained. - Twitch drops and huge twitch banner on game main screen (no, I dont want to go to watch twitch streamers when I started the game..) - No minimap (would really be useful imo) - Camera is too zoomed in even on max zoom out - especially annoying in battles Special mention - Logic Arts is disbanding and devs joined company to do NFTs driven games: - No more Expeditions games - NFTs are cancer (very eco unfriendly, money laundering, lot of stealing and selling other peoples work) - supporting this is just sad.

Game has great potential and it is fun, but its plagued with issues and sadly devs are not fast enough with fixing (almost a month since release and they didint fix any of the major problems.). - Unskipable intros and cutscenes - this is just **** move, only the worst do this. - Often there is no traffic at all...seems it just doesnt load in. - Cutscenes are horrible. Pure cringe, garbage voice acting. Since you cant skip it, I alt tab and wait for it to end - Waiting/loading/lobby simulator - you will spend about half the time of "playing" in loading screen, setting up event etc. Too many of them and often it is very slow. - Coop and online is still unplayable - full of glitches, lag and crashes lot more in coop too - for some reason every time game updates, or you update GPU driver it performse calibration for your HW and it takes minutes - Full of cheaters on every single leaderboard and in Eliminator

Its plagued with bugs, AI cant even autoattack, difficulty is all over the place...feels like **** idea how this got good reviews in the current state.
