My friend and I played the game for the first time a few months ago. I was whomping his ass when suddenly, on the screen, it said i lose. I was thinking this was a bug when i screenpeeked and saw he won. This is because the hills look like the cliffs of stronghold: crusaders. That is the game i'm used to play. I found out that i accidentally mistook a hill for a cliff and didn't build a wall. He just sent 2 unmounted knights and a king into my unmaned castle and he killed my king. This is the thing i hate most about the game. Also, i didn't like that you have to take care of crap and crime. I kept loosing some popularity to this and people hated me. Also, it is too easy to get honour. I had about 5 statues and my honour went up like 100000000000000000 a minute. The graphics are great and i like how you can rotate 25 degrees and zoom in and out. The sound is also great, but like all other games, the explosions and battles seem to have the same sound. This game has erratic gameplay and has aspects that are too easy and some that are too hard. Overall, I rate this game a 7.4 on my game scale.
