How it feels

Building and commanding armies across vast historical landscapes feels deliberate and grand, with a focus on resource management and tactical combat.

What players say

Players love the base game's multiplayer but are split on the single-player campaigns, which some find soulless and others enjoy. The DLC is harshly criticized as low quality and pay-to-win, with overpowered new civs. Performance is a frequent problem, with many reporting constant crashes even years after release.
