Before this game i have played every entry in series except 1n2.
Pros
1,Best graphic in the whole series
2,AI are quite good and challenging
3,AI turns only take 15-20secs late game(after 3 ingame months)
4,All units are quite detailed and have depth
5,Awesome and enjoyable campaign objectives are quite good and not repetitive
6,Having less resources is good idea because everyone is going for same resources so there are more battles and its adding more to strategy point rather than micro management point like previous games
7,Music and Voice acting and cut scenes are also awesome
Cons
1,Five factions only (More will be added through expansions and total will be 9 factions after two ex packs)
2,Few bugs like flickering cursor(Game is still enjoyable)
3,Town Screen (Will soon be added via patch)
Conclusion: JUST GIVE THIS GAME A CHANCE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT AND THIS GAME HAVE POTENTIAL TO BECOME THE BEST GAME IN SERIES.
