Gameplay

What are the main issues with this game? Keep seeing negative reviews but need substance. Is it combat, the AI, Bugs?

Main issues? Court system and certain legacies feel underdeveloped. And it’s relatively easy to balloon your resources by bartering correctly, resource aspect of the game becomes far more trivial as a result.

Courts are a cool idea but in practice often feel like trivial fluff that distracts you from the campaign map, same can be said about the family tree. A lot of the time the court positions are empty anyway.

Some underwhelming legacies.. Hittite legacies for example are designed with you acquiring vassals in mind. But having vassals is often not a great way to play the game since your vassals can dow on whomever they want and call you in.

I’ve had zero issue with bugs, but there is a broken research tech.

Combat is fine. Not amazing. But ok.

I enjoy the game. Those who’re finding the game too difficult, just play Sherden lol you can win the whole campaign with auto resolve starting from turn 1
