They had it perfectly done except missed one or two things, Look in to see.
Now this is the part where Lionhead and EA screwed up on. They gave us sandbox mode after we conquered a island (in story mode) one way or another but they didn't add a seperate skirmish mode or multiplayer. Nobody in their right mind would have done it this way and I mean nobody. For some people it may not be a big deal but if you add skirmish mode and multiplayer mode then it adds to the gameplay and gives it a longer life. Story mode will entertain you just for so damn long then people get tired and leave the game to collect dust.
By the way wheres that promised patch your now hiding and about Lionhead and EA games with the multiplayer/skirmish? You said it before you released it and now your stalling.
