This game is overated and very old, i would give it a 4 by today's standards, please, for the love of God stay away.
got it, fully updated it, it has so many flaws i don't know what to start with.
campaign and skirmish, game play flaws:
MAP IS HUUGE, takes forever to go from one place to another which makes the campaign very boring, u can change game play speed but in battles u wont have time to retrieve your hero or soldiers and thus u lose.
stable game (no bugs) but very raw undeveloped game play
wen u send ur soldiers to go battle the enemy they starve fast even if u bring food and get killed easily. ima fan of AOE and AOE 1 is 100x better than this crap.
i couldn't even finish the campaign because my heros kept dying and there was nothing i can do even fleeing wasn't a solution. campaign isn't fun i felt it was a burden and very irritating.oh i almost forgot there is no building bases here just soldiers.
