..I have to say that the game is really awesome. Sure the AI needs an update, but it is still offers a good challenge! Especially on big maps with lot of AIs, its hella hard.
This is the most complex strategy game ever!
I've ordered 2 more copies, those will be X-Mas presents for 2 of my friends. LAN play here we go!

BIG thanks to Illwinter for this wonderful strategy game.

I agree, however I missed some important things, like SP diplomacy, mod tools [in the works] and various other features. The game itself is very good.

I have to endorse Mortifiers points having got the game a couple of days back myself.

For me it is simply the best game out there and all its fault are in that context.

Thanks Illwinter.

So you do think AI provides good challenge?

I was beginning to think that something is wrong with my play skills since AI kicks my behind at impossible level.

I agree lads, the game is really good! I've missed some features as well [hint: singleplayer diplomacy

], but oh well, the game is very unique anyways!

Hats off, Illwinter!

Well, 1v1 AI is not of course.

BUT on big map with lot of AIs, it is HELLISH hard to win, since some AI[s] will become UBER strong.

Sure the AI will need an update [AI weaknesses by Aristotles in the AI's thread], but I would say that is is pretty good already.

Sometimes I think Mortifer and Aristotles are trying to get the devs to NOT touch the AI

LOL nah, but in some games the AI is kicking ***. Not kidding! This happens in huge games, when its got time to build up/conquer other AI.
As I said there are many problems with the AI, but overall it is not that bad.
