Good game if your lucky enough to get it to work!!!
Pros: a very addicting gameplay simmler to AOE or CIV. Sounds like an indepth story and good graphics.
Cons: Poor UI is an understatement, half the time you dont know what to do next or how to do it, very little explanation into what does what and how they impact the game.
Major Cons: If you read reviews for this game or ANY of the support forums you will see that if the game works or EVEN installs correctly you are very lucky, Ubisoft doesnt seem to care if everyone that buys thier games can get them to work which is very evedent if you call tech support or email them with a problem. You will get a reply " Sorry about that, we are currently looking into the problem, how ever this problem only affects a small portion of our customers and no patch or further development is needed."
This game IS broken out of the box for most users, the very popular anti-virus AVG sees this game as a virus, and no patch to fix this only a user posted work around on the Steam support forums.
Bottom Line: This game isnt worth taking a $50 risk on if this game will work for you. Keep looking for your RTS fix somewhere else untill this is in the $5 bin at your local game store.
