Battles are really fun.
But the Campaign is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Half-baked campaign AI with masochisitc approaches, which makes it (for me) unplayable with factions I`d like to play.

I keep coming back to this game in hope that it gets better.
Somehow it gets worse.

Balancing is catastrophic.
Often the game is dominated by at least 3 players on one team with level 3000 vs all the newcomers.
Obviously, a very nice experience for newcomers if you get killed 2 meters from the spawn by perfectly thrown gerandes from the pros.
The community is so small, you encounter the big players more often than expected.
But there is no trouble finding a server to game.
Sometimes there are new maps playable, but only for a limited time.
Very sad, since some of the maps are pretty good.
Deathcam is... questionable. It apporximately shows the point from where you were killed. Rate for yourself if you want to stare into nothing for most of the time while waiting to get to the respawn screen.

I think this game can be better, but its always so frustrating to when you cant find a server where the pros dominate the whole game.

New update broke the game
My progress is lost and i cant continue my old game because every province is massively unhappy.
Special Ressources like Slaves are not in the user interface.
Allegiance makes my provinces massively unhappy
Some Provinces are stuck with events that dont apply any more (both positiv and negative)
I liked it before the update
Its not unplayable but i dont like the new update because it feels not finished

Edit: This applies also to a new campaigns

That's what I call a game.
When I have such a good gameplay I don't care about graphics or other things.
The first achievements made me feel great buying this game and playing it.
Great Idea and great game.
My most favourite game this year by now ! ! !
