Good Points

It has great, and I mean great, graphics. The gameplay is good, and playing online is a great way to have fun. Better than AI, anyway. No faction is too powerful, although some people can find what makes a faction better than another. Take the Spanish, for instance: There is the ole' pikeman rush. Get nothing but pikeman and skirmishers, and the skirmishers cover the pikes while they kill the cavalry and the buildings. Or the Ottomans, and the Janissary turtleing strategy. Build a brick wall of Janissarys until the Industrial age, when you get a Factory and Great Bombards.

Bad Points

AI usually does the old send exactly what will counter you perfectly strategy. Usually the first attack will not be so powerful, but it will counter your units. The next one will focus more on buildings. Sometimes, their units will keep attacking a building even if they are under fire from other units. Pretty much, the AI is the worst part of the game. The heck, it's the worst part of most games, eh?

General Comments

Overall, good game. Has a nice variety of units, Home City offers hundreds of new strategies, and the Age V and the Imperial Guard upgrades make you want to keep playing. I would recommend this game to everyone I know, because even if you hate something, there's sure to be something you love. Thank you, and thank you especially who thought my review was good, and thank you who believe I wrote a bad review, because all comments and opinions are important. Oh the heck with the thank yous. Thank you,
