The more I play the more frustrated I get. I play a whole ****ing lot. The only thing in the game that doesn't need to change is what it looks like (except the maps, I hate them). There's no nice way of saying it, everything in the game is clunky, annoying, cumbersome and needs a teacher to highlight it and ask TW to re-do it turn it back in by next monday. It's not even mean, that is basically what EA is, a rough draft.
The AI is horrible! It's an endless facepalm-re-set-fest anytime anytime I do anything but perfect position my troops and ask them to just shoot in the general direction while I personally slaughter everything that tries to get close to them. If I ever fight with an AI Allie they suicide all their troops and there's nothing I can do about it. If would just stay still I could use them, but no!
The formation controls/UI is clunky and awful and I have to do it CONSTANTLY. If I could at least save formation and map placements and choose it at the start of battle it would be a great QOL improvement. It's unacceptable to have to manually drag around and place troops, face and format them over and over nad over. I wish I could teach my troops stuff like a real leader! If Cav is charging make a skien! If Inf gets this close CHARGE! If you're out of arrows FALLOW ME!
That'd be so cool!
Swinging weapons feels like ****. Even my favorite weapon the Glaive is a clunky mess. It's a constant wrestling match to just swing left and right.... I don't ever want to stab or over head swing but it thinks I do. I wish I could disable chain attacks for my char in the menu, that would help so much.
There's about 2 good maps. The rest I have come absolutely hate after so many battles. Sometimes I just retreat over and over until I get a map that doesn't give me an instant headache to look at.
They need the video game version of Phil Spector to come in and fix their game and make it a hit!
