While the game is quite unique in it's style, your cursor being your main 'hero', able to be shot and killed and they take time to move from place to place, as well as the fact that Farms and other food sources are limited, making rounds quick and mobile, it suffers from a thing most unpolished games do: The AI cheats like no tomorrow.

The AI's heros are basically the AI's scouting tools, they don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the cursor rule, they will micromanage every indidual unit, attacking you in multiple places at once while you literally cannot do that unless you run from one place, move all of one type of unit there, then run to the other and summon another type of units.

On many of the hardest campaign maps as well, the AI just doesn't care about food. They will continuously spawn units, and even if they run out of food, their farms going fallow, they continue anyway. On other maps, they just spawn BUILDINGS anywhere on the map, making you have to be literally everywhere at once, checking for buildings to send your mass of troops after.

But the biggest problem is with all of this, there is no difficulty slider, which I approve of, but if you aren't going to make your AI follow the same rules as your players, there needs to be one.

The ability to outlast your enemy through food stockpiling and aggressive taking and emptying of the resources is quite the fun one, being somewhat akin to a 'wonder' victory. I love the gameplay of it when things work properly and the story is very interesting. Sadly, the way the AI are coded makes the game a no-go for me.
