“This game was spectacular in its original release, and my friend and I spent many hours enjoying it. Unfortunately the game is now in a state where for casual players it is just not fun. The AI manufactures armies at ridiculous tempo even…”

“Only played the Singleplayer/Coop-Gamemodes and they have become so ridiculous that it just doesnt make sense or fun. For example, the AI cant use their troops, which leads to them just having 14 villagers standing around in their base…”
