Pleasant but Swerves from Potential Optimum State
The odd quarrel I have with the game design team is this: I have seen this game off the computer, made for boardgame play a decade or two before this game appeared for public purchase. Just as Sid Meier did not grant public and wide credit to those who actually created the Civilization boardgame that his own work is strongly based on, neither does Creative Assembly grant any obvious and issued credit to those who designed a board game which they plagarise of.
Among the swindlers, if swindlers these folk are, these game designers are only flawed in that they cheat prior designers and by not enhancing the game by permitting such things as generals who can switch between units and suchlike. As humans, just as all humans do, they deserve the utmost in credit for breathing and walking and being able to comprehend a computer at all. The sheer effort of overcoming loss of umbilical cord and subsequesent mobility and interest in language is to be commended.
Their accepting pay for all this must be seen in light of the fact that they might not be able to have any other job and are usually staring at the television, vastly entertained by colorful shapes and euphonic sound.
Hence, I must only assert that while this game is fun, perhaps a more respectful game might be released upon a time.
