How good is AoH 3?
I have 150 hours in AoH 2, most of them are from the Civilizations age. While I liked it back then, I feel like the gameplay is a little old and not too deep after 7 years playing it time to time.

Ive barely seen much footage of this new game, but it looks and plays really interesting, but for now reviews arent too detailed enough to help me decide whether buy it now to get a new fresh experience (and to get it cheaper than later), or wait more.

I have a few questions. I appreciate if you can answer them:

1. How powerful is the new Editor? What can you create and adjust? Is it a big leap from AoH 2? Can you export/publish to mobile?

2. How deep can the economy get? Is it dynamic and can be affected by war or destruction?

3. How reactive the AI is? Is it influenced by factors like the economy or religion?

4. Im particularly amazed by the nukes (which are even deadlier than in HoI imo) and I think they fit great in this game but, what kind of damage and effects leave on the enemy and the world? Do your allies and neutral countries react to these events, for example, that make them more prone to launch their own nukes in future conflicts? How can I defend myself from the AI nuking me and reduce the damages?

5. Is there any kind of country to country trade mechanic? If there is one, is it buggier than AoH2's trade? What can you trade? Can I exploit it in absurd ways like, causing wars for 30 golds or buying provinces for 50?

6. How are politics in this game? Do leaders/advisors really change overtime? Switching from one ideology to another affects your populace and may make it rebel against you?

7. Im really worried if Lukasz would give poor support to this, since I still remember how disappointing the announce of a new sequel (AoH 3) was a few years ago, while AoH 2 still feels like a rotten wooden broken old bridge with no maintenance and forgotten promises like Workshop support. Is he gonna do the same with this new game? What plans does he have to maintain this new sequel?

8. I guess it's really buggy today. What kind of bugs I could find?

9. Its good to see Mac support so Im happy for all those Apple players. How well does AoH 3 run in Linux under Proton?

EDIT: I forgot a question :3
