Absolute masterpiece. Can't go back to ds3 since this game IS SO DAMN GOOD!

Short: Campaign 10/10 Multiplayer 3/10 so the game for me is 6/10, if you play campaigns and don't bother with 1v1 pvp then this game is deff worth it.

Long:
I am more of a MP so I will focus mostly on criticism (mainly because CA focused on campaign and did nothing for MP)
Pros:
-Amazing optimization.
-Lots of innovations in campaign
-2 modes so that different communities could hf
-different unit cards
-duels look pretty nice
-characters actually matter
-beautiful artwork
so basically everything in campaign lmao
Cons:
-MP campaign is still limited (by max number of players)
-There are some bugs, like campaign map going all white (fixed it by loading autosave)
-The balance in romance mode is pretty bad. The abilities of some gens are insane, like -100 morale, global silence so 1 player cannot use any abilities during the battle etc.
-Ranked can be played only in romance. Also when I start searching for ranked battles I can't go back so if I want to play campaign instead I have to alt+f4 and start the game again lol.
-Records mode is boring, because CA didn't add anything to it. How I wish they reused avatar system for it....
-Still no gen speeches (even tho there are some scripted, but medieval 2 gen speeches are 10x better)
-Kinda chaotic tab in custom battle. Would have been much better to use the old faction system. Now ppl will get so confused what to pick with all of these heroes.
-Last but not least the insane lagfest when Europeans are playing with/vs Chinese.
Having said that we need to keep in mind that TW games at release date have never been exactly balanced or polished and this is one of their best release to date.

Positives:
+ Very good maps
+Improved siege battles
Negatives
-Cavalry is bugging all the time.
-Skirmishers in this game are even worse than vanilla Atilla's!
-Shield castle is completely useless.Bonus vs Infantry needs to comeback.At the moment swords play just like axes, but due to their low AP(6 to axes's 19) they are terrible.
-Too simple and boring campaign
-AI is either same or even worse.Example:Legendary difficulty, first battle AI charge all its cav(including general) into my whole army......
-All factions feel and play the same.Difference between them are just couple of units and thats it.0 variety.
-Price is way too high.It should have been at most 30$
-Leaderboard is still terrible.At least show Defeats with Victories.....
-OP units making gameplay extremely boring and annoying

I don't understand why devs didn't just copy battle mechanics from AoC and redirected all resources to campaign.....

Overall:3/10.Buy this only,if you are tired/bored of old tw's and you can't wait for Three Kingdoms.

Please patch the unit stats.Competitive mp is almost unplayable with these stats.
