“Quickly went from learning mechanics on beginner difficulty to ramping it up harder.”
“50% of the armies are ineffective just because of the resource gathering mechanic.”
“No AI single-player gameplay (although this is mostly okay since it's a watered down version and the full version has AI gameplay).”
