The gameplay shifts towards faster-paced, large-scale combat and mass production, moving away from the slow, micromanagement-heavy style of the previous title. While the audiovisual presentation supports the mechanics well, it lacks the polish expected by modern standards. This change facilitates more dynamic and complete playthroughs.
“This allows for a far different way of playing the game in which mass-production, large scale assaults and much faster gameplay are the order of the day, instead of meticulous micromanaging and extremely slow-paced combat which would result in unfinished playthroughs like in the previous title.”
