Ara History Untold: Anniversary Edition

The most disappointing game i have seen so far after decades of playing strategy games. Even worse than Millenia and it is a lot to say. Logistics are good but that is all. Basis of a strategy game is the map and the map size, as well as map generation and AI management are the worst i have ever seen. As for combat, i wonder who the heck has designed this ridiculous system wher 2 guys on a donkey can capture a whole city. To conclude, i would add that the devs are obviously not listening to the players as those problems have been out for a long while. I had high hopes. Now id ont even want to hear about it. Going in the bin. Avoid this game. You have much better games to play.

This game is awesome. Love the micro management with resources and crafting. It really feels like you are building an empire. The war system needs some getting used to, if you used to play games like civ, but it works very well for me. If there is one point of improvement it would be this: Bigger maps! Lets scale this fun up! Lovely game and an absolute thumbs up from me!

Alas, the AI is just broken. Every faction, no matter its theme, will demand tribute or just declare war on you and settle next to you (like very f*cking one of these games). They are all the same. Outside of a unique unit, this makes all factions the exact same. This was happening on the easiest difficulty btw, people often test on the most difficult setting, however easiest of ten a good way to test things, as it will quickly reveal if anything is broken, this shouldn't happen on the easiest setting. I initially had a positive review of this despite its shortcomings but its been some time and they have not fixed this issue, so I cannot recommend this game any more. Good visual style and some good ideas, but they are simply not fleshed out. The game also repeats the mistakes of other 4x games; 1 civ = 1 unique unit. Cmon, its time to move past this, there are so many unique traits, units and buildings you could give each historical nation. Would this imbalance some nations? Yes but that is where unique gameplay and customisation comes in. The game will also, ALWAYS place AI next near you. I tested just to be sure, I created a four corners map, large, with ONE other nation. The game placed us almost next to eachother every time. Why? What if I want to just build? Terrible. If they improve some of these glaring issues I will change my review, but I sense they will abandon this game given how slow updates are. What the game needs imo; More unique environments, and unique points of interest to explore, natural wonders and resources that effect your civ. Far more unique traits, not just passive but abilities to activate and build upon. Unique building, unique to your specific civ but some you can unlock or even trade (steal or conquer). Unique units, not just one per civ. End game research and influences purchases need to be better. End game research just grants Prestige. By end game this is redundant. Options for cash influx, production boost, military buffs for specific units/armies, unique buildings/units etc. Go crazy Paragon become pointless once all the ''masterpiece'' creations are found. They need to do more. Assign them as a mayor of a city or something. A spy to steal. Anything. Fix the AI settling next to you! Fix the ''alliance running out'' thing. Has potential but they really need to work on this. I want to give this a good review but it is held back.

前期可玩性ok。后期比较烦，若睡不着，可以玩玩后期

Updating my negative review to a positive one as they made an effort to integrate a deeper diplomacy system which is still incomplete to me but it is finally on the good path. The battle system that take multiple turns are a game changing as you can now have the time brings reinforcement but it sometime feels this needs a bit more balancing as for example a 7/1 battle will still takes 4 turns which should take less to my opinion. Keep up the good work and this game might resist the ravage of time !

팅기고 초반 이해도도 어느정도필요하고 폰트는깨져있고 전투시스템은 한숨만나오고 병력에 제한이걸려있어서 다구리는 이악물고 피해야되고 햫~ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

un gioco come questo senza unita uniche e' per me incompleto, anche le unita generiche non hanno una differenza a secondo la civilta che scegli, e poi dai non si puo vedere l'impero romano senza la sua unita' unica delle legioni! insomma gioco incompleto!

The update made it so much better! I enjoy the different approach this has vs the civ series. Every decisions count.
