Very boring. The visuals are beautiful, the streamlined diplomacy is awesome and well, that's it. The campaigns are boring, the AI is great but still always knows when your armies are away and send in their forces. It's just boring. in 83 hours I've gotten around 80% completion with every faction and it just becomes a reactionary, waiting for rifts game. I am holding out for Mortal Empires and updated Old World factions but who knows... Till then, it's not worth $60.

Edit:
Immortal Empires changed the game. The combination of maps and races is excellent. The visuals are beautiful and they are still updating and revamping magic animations, models and campaigns. The game is worth hours and hours of replay. Its not perfect, but they are working to make it that way.

Edit:
Cannot recommend.

Edit; 12/10/2024:
Game is in a good place now. The Devs have really turned around their lazy, greedy, evil ways and have started down a path of correction and making great content. The game is very fun but very expensive. They still squeeze every dime out of DLC and stuff that could possibly be free... But that's just CA and the current state of micro-transactions.
