Is this game a winner or sucks big time? Compared to the Total War series then

[f.meussen]

Dont know what to think about this one.
I enjoyed the total war series ( exception ROME 2 ) how does this game relate to that?

Not at all I'm afraid.

Grand Ages: Medieval is a grand strategy game much more akin to something like Europa Universalis or Civilization, with a heavy focus on economic domination. There is a military aspect, but it's not as refined as in classic RTS games such as the Total War series.

Similar to Rise of Venice, with the city building/management aspect of the Civilization series. Seems to be a nice hybrid of the two.

This.

I'm interested to know if the A.I will actually act like another player, or will it receive "cheats" to keep up to scratch with a human thinking 10 moves ahead? And if so to what extent?

For example if we're going to see vast swaths of undeveloped land belonging to an enemy contending with your highly industrious super nation like in Civ4 I'd like to know.

AI is the hardest thing to program, no company today can create AI that acts like a Human. If we could then we'd basically have freaking Skynet and we'd cease to exist.

More (new)user friendly than Crusader Kings?

i still don't know why this sort of game has controller support,that's a little disconcerting (aimed at the lowest common denominator) ?

[f.meussen]

So more like Settlers series and civilzation combined?

Because it's also on PS4. Of course, you don't /have/ to play it with a controller. It's an option which works surprisingly well. We also support the new Steam Controller.

the first grand ages game was a city builder, why do you make a completely different game and publish it under the same name, do you want to trick people into buying it or do you have no confidence in your game and feel the need to piggyback on a well known title?
