Wow, this game is insanely fun. Had to watch a video from "Anti-Kleaper" on YT "This game broke me" is the title. And when I finally played with R'yleh in the late age. The game just clicked for me. Leading an army of insane fishmen, mind flayers and strange beasts from another dimension was a fun I hadn't had in a loooong time. And the different empire and ages aren't just different sets of units. The nations play...
Easily in the top 5 best games I ever played in my life! I am 40 and I have been gaming since 6. Yes quite a statement I know! especially when you look at the barftastic graphics of this game. Yet the depth of this game is deeper than the deepest ocean. Its hard to learn unfortunately which is probably what puts off most people. I had to watch many hour introductory videos to just learn how to START playing this...
Absolutely fantastic strategy game, good luck getting anyone you know to play it.
