Selected quotes from my friend: "Wow they really RON'ed this thing, didn't they?" "They should call it RON II." "The graphics aren't as good as Dawn of Empires [our shorthand for Empires: Dawn of the Modern World]" The menus look like RON. The farms look like RON farms. The cities are set up like RON cities and have names, like in RON. Guess what game the towers remind me of? I was immediately impressed with the way my army dudes moved and fought in formation. Why has no other game ever made done this? Moving in formation is so basic and yet I've never seen it implemented. In this game, cav will move slower to accomodate the footmen and everyone moves like they're on parade. It's fucking inspirational. And the musketeer movements (reloading, firing together) are fantastic. The graphics do look dumb, however. The farming graphics in particular are incredibly stupid. More to come later, after I figure out the nifty war planner and citizen manager tools. |
