The final mission is ridiculous!

[Магнит]

The final mission,Actium,is a military mission with easy requirements.It was supposed to be a showdown with Octavian.
But I did not even see a hair of the army when I got victory.I won directly after reaching the goal of victory without holding for months.
Didn't they even try it out once when they were making it?That's so absurd!
It's the final mission after my continuous playing several days with so many bugs.I keep insist on playing with so many bugs.After the whole process,it sucks.
When I looked at the RESTART button on the CAMPAIGN page,I felt that I had been fooled.

55 hours nice run. 35 hours myself and I think I've been playing a lot haha.

Anyhow, it's sad it has so many bugs but it seems the game still needs to be polished. It's very playable, but not as challenging as the OG. The major bugs I find myself are with the water ferries. Let's give the devs some time to locate and fix this issues and polish what's missing. I'm certain they will listen to us.

Hope so,the current version seems too insincere.I'll keep playing this game.I am addicted to the OG and have been waiting for NEW ERA for years. This result really makes it difficult for me to calm down.

For me the whole campaign feels not really like a campagne.

Each mission is quite the same with a few winning conditions that change. You just won the mission with the goal to make a city of 3500 population? the next mission is to make a city with 4000 population and now you need to import reed instead of clay. Boring

The ton of text that is thrown at you at the beginning of each level to simulate a story is such a lazy peece of work. This 52 intense missions is just a marketing bs.

You are right.The NEW ERA didn't do any improve in OG campaign which is a relatively backward game method 24 years ago.It's originally designed to experience the history in the process of construction, enjoying the fun of urban construction and resource allocation.
There are so many ways to reach that.GREAT,they avoid every,and deleted military system

It's the same campaign than the game from 1999. Calm down. It's as it is supposed to be.

I haven't played the original. I've only played Zeus and Poseidon.

If it's the same campaign, maybe there was room for improvement. I heard the original had several different military threats that made the game more versatile. There were a few cutscenes to give you a feel for the progression of the story. At least something like this should work. Besides, I can come up with some level ideas on the spot to make it more fun.

I feel the same to you, thats why I visit this post and reply. It was like WTF? did the arrange the mission wrongly or what? just drag the houses and finish it in 3 minutes. haha

All of the "battle" missions need some kind of monument to make them last longer.

Or, in case of the Cleopatra Missions, the timer reinstalled ;)
