Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with the game.

First off Grand Ages: Medieval and Grand ages: Rome aren't even in the same gaming genre. GA: Rome was a city builder with some depth and character. Not my favourite game but pretty solid.

GA: Medieval is an empire building trade sim and a pretty tacky one at that. It's a SUPER basic, minimal effort yet confining time sync for anyone that's literally got ♥♥♥♥ all else to play. Most 10 year olds could thrive on the first play and be bored to tears within about five minutes. It is that basic. The economic system consists of roughly a dozen items, which for me is bloody boring and gaining a positive net income is a simple as creating demand through production in certains and placing the raw production elsewhere to generate sales.

For comparison, Patrician III was equivalent to an entire mammal, think Elephant, primate, ect. But GA: Medieval has about all of the depth and complexity of a single celled organism.

You can't even get the freedom of the ocean, you're confined to pathways between towns and cities on a land locked and frankly an ugly ass map. Patrician III's map ACTUALLY looked better and it's 20+ years GA:M's senior now.

Combat is one unit at a time too. Slow, unimaginative and may as well be redundant.

Should rebrand themselves from Grand Ages to grand dissapointment. One of the worst games/sequals I've ever played. I am so glad I got it on sale because it's not even worth one single tenth of the full asking price.

I hope they don't get another sale.
