Well, its less good that age of empire...
Less pretty
Less cheatcode
Less gamemode
Less content and variety of troups
A creative mods...kind of weird
And the story mod is as good as age of empire...its ok

But its still a solid game with a different pacing and with his own tweak like the multiples character that you can fight, who all have their way to attack, defend and react

But if you cant stand age of empire, avoid this game
