Not only that, they removed rivers and choke points on bridges. Mountains don't block movement. Everything feels flat, and I think the game lost strategic depth because of that.

As per tradition, the newer the game in a series, the more shit it is
I hope you aren't suggesting race equality is bad comrade.

Survey to "help them improve the game". lol
Wonder if there's an option for: "Make a good game instead of this dog shit."

Fairly long survey. Funnily enough I haven't seen a single tv show they asked an opinion of.

You are more patient than I am. I've closed the survey tab at the third or fourth question about social media and other unrelated shit.
I finished it, but it is mostly that. You can eventually give them some actual feedback, but it's all at the end and minimal except for the comment box.

Nobody actually reads that. It is just put there as feel good option.
I have no doubt that you're right, but after getting to the end of the fucking thing, I needed the chance to blast them.

The next big update comes on the 27th and looks good. Seems like the game is on a similar trajectory like AoW III.

It had a ton of players on release, so I'd say the DLC is probably not worth producing financially, but it's pretty hard to turn on a dime and just go, "Nah we're going to not make anymore content even though we put out a season pass on release".
My thinking this, word for word. The lack of actual campaigns worries me but I'm sure it'll be fine. :burningdogmeme:

I got back to playing AoW3 recently, just hitting up RMG with different race/class/perk combo every free evening. And damn, it still hits hard how fucking declined this crap is compared to all the great stuff and even greater promise that AoW3 had.

AoW3 is just bad Shadow Magic with a Civ5 UI, though.
AoW4 actually has potential with the Tome system but they are totally wasting it, as usual for a Paradox published game. Game is like a 6/10 but it could have been 10/10 if they weren't morons.

I can't say I count "teh campaign" among the main issues of the game, both because it essentially has one (in the form of a series of sequential scenarios loosely connected by a metaplot) and because I always considered "campaigns" in this genre little more than extended tutorial and the "big scenarios" are what I play for.
I think the real problems with this one are about its core mechanics.
Specifically the way the game refuses to make anything unique and very few things mutually exclusive. As a result after a while all factions feel pretty much the same, unlock mostly the same shit, pile up largely the same amount of permanent buffs and mutations and play in the same way.
This should allegedly favor "freedom and creativity" for the players but the reality is that it contributes to rob them of the ability to experience diverse playstyles.
