Last week I had posted a LONG list of bugs with the game that made the game annoying to play with. I had hoped this patch would fix most those issues. Well it fixed maybe half those bugs. Yet with the new patch it introduced ones that were even worse.

The last game I have been playing my mana on my champions drops to zero after the battle. That alone makes that game unplayable because of the fact to do damage requires mana. Which means no adventuring, no conquering, no summoning units, and no enchants. It basically reduces the game to, well sit here and press end turn until I gain a decent amount of mana back. Great new magic system, too bad you forgot the part of quality assurance making sure players have mana to use it.

Now this is the part where people say well you are relying on magic too much. You are right, but, I have no choice. The new economy for killing monsters and armies sucks ass (putting it politely.) I have a hard time scratching up enough cash to build units, yet my neighbor who is at -4561 gold per turn does not seem to be having much of a problem at all.

Well guess the game hits the pile of unplayed games now. This game was nothing but a disappointment, hard to believe the same people made the Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Empires. Learned my lesson though, I will not be purchasing any more Stardock products. Nothing like being scammed, after all what do you call buying a broken product that you can not return?

Civilization V comes out in a couple days which will obviously replace this game. Their game might not be what I want in a game, but at least it runs.
