“The game crashes at very turn for me. Also, I am sick an tired of the developers(AGEOD) exploting their fan base and then releasing half-finished games like this one. The fact that you get "(...)" as unit description even after around ten…”
“The game crashes frequently and saved games become corrupt, so you cannot load after the game crashes. If the game were stable I would recommend it.”
