Well I am torn with this game.

I think its safe to say that charging an army on horseback with the calvary behind you and the archers taking your enemy flanks, is very satisfying. unfortunately in my opinion you spend more time being killed and waiting to spawn than actually playing the game, and along with that the combat system is horrid, it is difficult at best to kill people, when your walking up the stairs or a siege ladder you could be beaten to the top by a sloth. But in the midst of all this chaos and questionable gameplay is a gem, but you see when you have a team of 100 players and start to get good at the game it slowly grows on you until all the muck and grime has been cleaned off the gem and it actually becomes a pretty nice game. Now some pros and cons.

PROS-
:Fun, if your good at it.
:Mods, custom maps, semi-large player base.
:Ambitious
:Hours of gameplay
:Single and Multiplayer

CONS-
:for 29.99 USD you would expect it to be a little more...hmm smooth.
:Spawn times may seem a little ridiculous at times.

Conclusion-
:My conclusion is that, they need a demo so players can get a feel for it and decide whether its for them or not, me personally? Eh not so much.
