Well I just finished my first full game of 1.4 with after the war mod. I normally love turn based strategy. I still am disappointed in this one though even after all the upgrades. I set the game on challenging and was having some fun with it for a bit. The avatars are just plain ugly and don't have enough customization options.The armies are excruciatingly slow to build. In the end it feels more like an RPG with allies. City building was easy to learn. I did not have enough to build

My biggest hope is that this will be a defining turn based fantasy strategy game and not just MOM2. I would like to see hot seat and network play to give the game longer play life. My biggest fear is that it will be dumbed down and made too easy. My biggest complaint on MOM is that it was just too easy. The AI was not aggressive enough and they left too many exploits in the game. Of course if it were only as good as MOM it would still be among the best games ever.
