I Like Toast 08/20/21 10:50:40 AM #3:	it's worth playing if you're subscribed and like 4x games. It's not going to be as great as Civilization with 5 years of patches 2 expansions and a season pass. Combat becomes a very simple turn based battle. Which I generally enjoy as it allows you to leverage a little strategy and makes defensive terrain more valuable. I enjoy their city siege mechanic, basically you can siege a city and you'll build siege weapons while the defender will conscript more soldiers. Walls are actually more useful than in Civ games, since they don't just provide a flat bonus, they will prevent some units like Cavs from entering the walls. I really enjoy the gimmick of picking a different 'civ' each era as you tailor your perks as you play. The outpost/city system is also interesting. However war itself feels awkward. Basically as you win battles you gain war points and the enemy loses them, once they reach 0 points you're forced to end the war. Based on the points you earned you can make demands, but i've never had a war were I didn't have to give back territory I had conquered during the war. This can be immensely annoying when you go to war for a strategic resource and end up not being able to keep it so you ahve to wait a few turns to build up enough war wariness to go back to war and try again and hope this time you get what you wanted. This is by far and away my biggest complaint with the game as strategic resources are VERY limited, as I assume the game wants to encourage you to trade for it. But you frequently lose your trade routes with unclear reasoning (neutral units, war between the ai, or something). There's enough in it to enjoy and there isn't anything fundamentally bad about it, but also at the same time as i'm working through my 2nd game i can see it eventually just pushing me back to civ until it gets either a large patch or an expansion to give it a try again. --- If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all https://mikelikesthis.net the blog no one asked for is back <cite>I Like Toast posted [p:957264090] in How is Hum...
