pretty graphics and thats about it

I was really eager to try this game and...its disappointing. The only good thing about it is the graphics. Unit AI is atrocious, as is combat itself - how come 20 of my soldiers struggle with killing 1 enemy spearman (not even special unit/ hero - just regular spearman without a shield). Looks like early Assasins Creed games where enemies just took turns attacking you allowing for riposte instakill on every one of them. 1st viking campaign is alright. Playing Mieszko I campaign now and isnt it lovely when enemy can spawn 5 units before you actually finish setting barracks on fire ? at least skirmish mode is okayish, but extremely repetetive. Hopefully developers put more thought into their next project -they are talented enough to make much more enjoyable game.

Very mediocre game

Attention! There is a game crashing bug related to multiplayer. I have to disable my internet to play it. And the game is obviously not maintained so it's very likely there will be no official fix. One star to art and setting. One star to nice cutscenes in criteria of RTS games. The campaign is boring. So as the gameplay. I just nnished the hrst Viking campaign and have already lost interest especially considering my huge backlog of other better games. Doesn't worth your time if you have a huge backlog of better games like me.

Online Doesnt Work

The game itself is not bad, but it is bad on GOG. The game itself will close when entering the main menu if your connected to the internet. When i attepted to play offline it was working just fine. I was hoping to play this with a friend so thats a bummer. There are a couple old threads in the forum about this problem and it apparently hasnt been resolved.
