Documentary-style campaigns are wonderful
Streamlined and intuitive without losing and complexity
Challenging in all the right ways
Faction variation is wonderful and draws on history to create fun mechanics
Deep and rewarding strategy that?s accessible
Art of War missions are great for learning the RTS ropes
Smooth and stable performance across a wide range of PC hardware
Feels every bit like a great and modern take on Age of Empires
So many great little touches
Nails the siege stuff
That first time you take down a stone wall with canon-fire? so satisfying

Some AI behaviour needs work, some troops stand there while nearby units are hit by artillery
Campaign lacks a bit of personality in the voiced-characters department
No naval or Sultanate in the launch campaigns
A few more Art of War missions would have been nice too

An excellent campaign offering a lot of variety, as well as being supported by very interesting documentary-style clips, as well as information given throughout the missions.
Strong AI for both the enemy and your units avoids many issues that tend to plague games of this type.
Factions feel more varied than ever before, with a wealth of unique units, buildings and features.
Added tactical elements, such as tall grass to hide and ambush, let the game stand out from previous iterations.
It looks and sounds great, with little details in audio and visuals helping to let the game stand out...

... However, unit models stand out for the wrong reason, looking poor compared to the rest of the game.
Limits itself to 200 population, which feels unnecessarily small, especially on larger maps.
