It is alot of fun, but there are sóme serious Problems that should be worked on.
Moors, Arabs and Seljuks using western Knights are a good example, it breack Immersion.
Overall very dynamic and fun game tho !
I can believe it is caused by the repeatedly negative reviews you read on Age of Games.
A lot of good games have been presented here lately, but the ratings (compared to other sites)are usually poor (and in my opinion, often unfair).
You can’t demand too much of free games. Better to enjoy they’re available for us to play.
It happens when u load a game without saving.
Dont get me wrong, i love this game, but when i save a game, and then come back to it, all my research is gone! i would have knights on the battlefield, but i couldn't recruit a freaking archer!
This is usually the game i go to when im bored, because its very very good, but this saving thing really screws me up....
4.6/5 for game before I discovered bug, 2.5/5 now, sence I can't come back to my game anymore...
There's a key balance to be struck between expansion, which will bring in more money, or holding on to what you've got.
Spending money on research pays handsome dividends and then allows you to get better troops and increase your income.
The overall game is well built. The sounds, graphics and music are all good and the controls are all pretty user-friendly.
Worth the effort, if you're prepared to invest a bit of time in it.
4/5
first scenario with the english was quite easy in the end with a slow move rate and not trying to rush to take all you can get hold of. Take your time like a game of chess and if you are english cover your eastern flanks with 2 armies blocking moves in that direction with about 30 to 60 men but only keep enough to make enemy attacks lose and thus they stay away. move a third army into Spain with a fourth in the line up to block and once spain is conquered you have an easy route through tunisia into italy.
and if you take time to grow your army to block the enemy only you may find you have enough cash to research and thus make better strides into the next battle you aim to take on.
try to make sure you have all your battle front covered with enough men in each army to remove the threats of retaliation or easy losses with no men in the land. all behind can stay empty as you move along your route to victory. if you start as germans then put all your men in the frontiers and make sure you only take the lines of attack that do not need more than 1 army and make sure you have the resources to replace that army for the protection of your fronts as you have a surrounding number of armies and they need to have an eye kept on them until you are able to take the time to attack them.
4/5
If you're struggling, skip the first map, that certainly isn't the easiest. Maybe try the 2nd or 3rd (and maybe arabs or russians). figure out the bottle necks where you can group your forces to protect your border, and leave everything else deserted. Attack only when things are looking favourable (initially), in battles I found early on spear&archer combos on one line worked okay and later (especially after upgrades) pike, crossbow, crossbow will do far more damage than it takes.
Possible strategy with Britain on the first map (not full-proof admittedly):
-get all soldiers grouped together to take Ireland, everywhere else deserted.
-recruit a few more if needed to take scotland, still only army should now be in scotland (save all the income that you don't absolutely need to spend to win)
-Move down to England, recruit some more, maybe research if spare cash.
-Invade france (with superior, but not TOO superior forces).
-Hold; research, prepare. Income should be 2nd highest at least, Don't rush expansion, as its much harder to hold anywhere beyond this point. Wait for germany to make a mistake (ideally failing to take your French region after your now superior soldiers throw them back (pike crossbow crossbow). Invade empty region with sufficient forces, but don't weaken your region too much. Push in through the hole and force Germany to now reinforce internal regions... consider pushing to Sweden, giving up the land behind you, then expanding back out to give Germany two fronts.
Focus research on income (espec earlier techs) and archers/spear, don't need more than that really.
