after some games in beta 3 i have this feeling id like to share
imo a bad aspect of the actual gameplay is you can do almost EVERYTHING without a payback
you can research without reducing your money income nor your productivity
you can build buildings AND troops at same time
you can research spells too much easily and again without reducing money or anything
in the while you are questing/exploring etc
imo its too much, the gold old fashioned way of civ/mom is better and more strategic
if you research you lose something in other branches, or if you build a lot of troops and you are very powerful you cant have at the same time the best technologies
in the actual game you can, there isnt much strategy involved, you do everything, at the same time
