Players express frustration with the gameplay design, particularly criticizing the choice of islands and the lack of meaningful impact from the different climates. They question the necessity of the magical portals for troop movement and suggest that a more realistic geographical separation would enhance the experience.
- “I know I'm being picky, but it just seems so silly! Why islands? Why bother with the three different climates when they don't make any difference to the gameplay? If the developers really wanted the variation, since they've already involved these magical portals for teleporting troops around, why not just have the kingdoms separated by a more realistic distance? It just doesn't make any sense!”
