Very Disappointing.

This update to a Great Game is very disappointing. Sure, there are a few new features, extra buildings and spells, and a few new monsters, which makes things a little interesting. However, the designers must have listened to the the 'complaints' and made the WRONG changes. They even changed some of the older quests (which was actually altered with a patch for the original game). It seems that the designers wanted to take this fun, slow-paced BUILDING STRATEGY game into the Real-Time Stupidity market. Many of the quests in the update are fast and furious, which does not work with this style of game. In the original game, a player could build in a nice, slow, and RELAXING manner, and that has changed in many up the Northern Expansions additional programming. In the end the designers pleased neither the old crowd of good customers nor did they attract the masses of RT Stupidity they tried to bring in. Most disappointing.
I recommend a try, but in the end, uninstall and play the original ... without any patches.
