Bugs meaning you can get in locked states where you can't win if you don't have allied victory enabled because of an enforced alliance you can't break? Really dumb.
По скидке самое топ! Хотели эльфов-каннибалов на единорогах? А гномов-некромантов, которые поднимают скелетов прямо на огороде? Здесь можно всё, и это одновременно восторг и приговор вашей личной жизни.
First off, I've played this game on a friend's PC for way longer a couple of years back and I really liked the game. It's fun. When it's not crashing into oblivion. I thought, ok, I'll wait for a year or two and then get the game for myself. After the first combat situation the game froze. I've tried fixing it, looking up solutions online but no luck. For the kind of money Paradox are asking, I'd expect a buttery smooth experience. The game really is a lot of fun. Different races, builds, skills, customization options... But the whole thing is pointless when they are printing DLCs like there is no tomorrow with little bug fixing. The price is just too damn steep for a game I have to fix myself afterwards. Obviously there are people for whom the game runs fine or they have found a way around the bugs but for me, there was no way around. Premium prices for a premium product? Fine. This is a very cool game but it is not a premium product given how often it crashes and how little was done in three years to make it stable. I cannot recommend it sadly since I don't know who else will run into the same issues.
Great game but they make multiplayer broken after every update/DLC.
Look at the prices of those DLCs. You can literally get four of the best games ever made for the price of a single DLC for this game. It's greed. That's what it is. And by the way, you can create 90% of the contents of those DLCs yourself with the mod tools. Don't support predatory and abusive business practices.
You being a DRAGON is a 10/10 instantly. I don't care if it's DLC it's money well spent. Oh game is very good an addicting I guess. Still all of that is secondary to becoming a DRAGON.
Pros: Definitely looks good than AOW3 Cons: Combat doesn't make any sense. AI running through obstacles. Enemy AI units were immobilized but still able to move? Enemy AI has no range penalties like almost all of the time. AI unlimited casting and turns if you're not counting. AI one shotting your hero while you kept on missing for no reason (no buff or debuff). Auto battle says you overwhelm your AI opponent 4-1 but you still lose the auto battle? AI can't compute I guess and AI has to cheat to defeat you. How can an enemy ruler have 3 new heroes with high level when you already defeated and killed/captured his army 2 turns ago? Even ally or vassal AI is against you as it's either messing with your limited 3 army stacks, pulling the other 2 to a losing situation by coming near and initiating a battle we cannot win. AI abusing fog of war. Enemy AI outpost suddenly at your doorstep in the beginning because there is ancient site near me. Unbalanced factions.
Das Spiel ist sehr abwechslungsreich, bietet sehr viele Optionen und jedes Spiel lässt sich wieder etwas unterschiedlich angehen. Auch wenn die DLCs Teils sehr teuer und von sehr unterschiedlicher Qualität sind, bieten viele neue Spieloptionen.
CRASH ALL THE TIME!!! I don't know what to do.
The game itself is really good and fun, don't get me wrong. But the constant crashing, multiplayer bugs, softlocks, abysmal performance and other shenannigans are not worth the price of the game, let alone all the DLCs. I'll still continue playing because I am stubborn, but I cannot, in good faith, recommend purchasing this. Not for a full price.
