Look, I love this game. I have over 500 hours in it, but the latest update has completely ruined the experience for me. The crashing is constant. I can barely play for more than 15 minutes before the game crashes. The game already takes around 10 minutes to load, which is ridiculous, but I have put up with it because I love the game so much. However, the crashes have made it untenable. This issue has been fixed it seems - thank you dev team!!
Lot of crashes, litteraly unplayable rn. Thanks paradox lol.
супер
very cool
super fun game to just relax and have fun with family (i play with my husband) and im loving the game
un juego muy entretenido pero necesitamos que las invocaciones que invocas en una batalla se queden en un marcador aparte por que un amigo a creado tatntos zombies en una batalla que perdimos la cuenta.cuando ya pasaron de los 30 zombies en combate.
It's a great time! Just don't put too many world modifiers on too big of a map, on simultaneous turns. It uh. It gets really slow and kinda unstable. Also desync issues can be rather common in multiplayer at times.
Compared to AoW3: Positive: • A town can now construct a building and a unit simultaneously, so things progress quicker. • More QoL: There is an auto-scouting feature. Multiple armies can be moved together. Negative: • Story missions instead of a true, handcrafted campaign. • Units don't have background descriptions. • They removed the colored hex fields that show how many action points it takes to go there. Now you have to hover over every field to get that info. • Heroes are required more, for instance for sieges. • Unit ranks are more boring. First ranks only give HP and later ranks only give one new ability compared to two. • Music not as good (there is a mod though that adds music from previous titles). • World map graphics are more cartoony and more simplified (combat maps seem OK). • Graphics are not that much better, for instance city textures when zoomed in. • Some characters like Sundren have been uglified. • Horrible dithering (black dots) on areas with transparency effects. Not even MSAA 8x fixes this entirely. AoW 3 didn't have this issue at all. Of course there are many more changes gameplay-wise, but I consider those a matter of taste.
Все равно кажется что трансформация в нежить самая имбовая, ангелы, демоны все фигня
