The Settlers: Rise of an Empire

VERY DISAPPOINTING

I wasted 9 hours of my life on this game trying to burn down the enemy. Assaulting the enemy castle itself took me 3 hours, in the end the game freeze and I had to restart the computer. THIS happened in just one skirmish and I don't want to try out anymore. I had been a fan since the 3rd settlers installment spending only 20min-3hours to finish one mission. The soldiers back then was more flexible, now you need to GET TORCHES TO DESTROY BUILDINGS. The buildings in the enemy castle is a pain to destroy, as soon as you damage it two-three guys comes over and repair it faster than you can destroy. VERY UNREALISTIC AND TIME CONSUMING. I WILL NEVER PLAY THIS AGAIN.
