Just got the full game 2 days ago...I have to say..
 

..I have to say that the game is really awesome. Sure the AI needs an update, but it is still offers a good challenge! Especially on big maps with lot of AIs, its hella hard.
This is the most complex strategy game ever!
I've ordered 2 more copies, those will be X-Mas presents for 2 of my friends. LAN play here we go! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif


BIG thanks to Illwinter for this wonderful strategy game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

I agree, however I missed some important things, like SP diplomacy, mod tools [in the works] and various other features. The game itself is very good.

I have to endorse Mortifiers points having got the game a couple of days back myself.

For me it is simply the best game out there and all its fault are in that context.

Thanks Illwinter.

I was beginning to think that something is wrong with my play skills since AI kicks my behind at impossible level. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I agree lads, the game is really good! I've missed some features as well [hint: singleplayer diplomacy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ], but oh well, the game is very unique anyways!

Hats off, Illwinter! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

BUT on big map with lot of AIs, it is HELLISH hard to win, since some AI[s] will become UBER strong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Sure the AI will need an update [AI weaknesses by Aristotles in the AI's thread], but I would say that is is pretty good already. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Not kidding! This happens in huge games, when its got time to build up/conquer other AI.
As I said there are many problems with the AI, but overall it is not that bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
