The game even after more than a year of release is till buggy and the AI like most recent TW games derpy and broken. Multiple times getting war declared on you by enemies that are far from your territory like 4-5 different countries between you and them. ( Was playing Throgg and fighting kislev but suddenly several high elf factions declared war on me...) That includes when they are losing in another or multiple wars and still send half or more of their force to attack you( Same Throgg playthrough, 2 full stacks of elves sailed towards my towns while using agents i saw that their settlements were getting raped by Slaaneshi faction and Vampire count. By the time they got to me and i destroyed their stacks they had lost all their settlements and were wiped out in the next turn... And this happens from time to time) Units getting stuck and afk in battle map when on offensive. Once I waited for like 30 minutes and only after i sent all my ranged units exausted their ammo, sent my mage and used up all my winds of magic and had destroyed like 60% of the enemy army they started attacking. From a battle that i would have lost 2(1 elite) stacks vs 1 stack (average units) I won. The first time this happens you feel lucky and happy but when it happens 5 or more times you become disappointed.

Then the dlc policy, CA always had scummy practices, ( I really liked the chaos dwarf dlc from the gameplay/content scale. I can compromise for it to be more expensive) But when CA announces news dlcs and they are less content,less units/mechanics but still cost the same or more than their good and full of content dlc's. That takes it too far.

To this day there are still several factions that have outdated mechanics or have not been loved for many years. ( Dwarves, Especially norsca, Tomb kings, Vampire counts and Vampire coast needs some love too)

Multiple achievements still not working for Immortal empire

I love this series but I cannot with clear conscience say that this game is good or recommend it( Mods as always fix many of the flaws but this is the modders credit and should not be taken for granted)
The game without mods is 6/10 , with mods it can go up to 9/10 . My suggestion is buy it only when it is on sale, the dlc also buy it only when they have 40% or more discount.
