Bad UI, Colors, too small for Notebook
I have played 100rds of hours of Field of Glory Emipres. And now bought the Kingdoms game. Compared to Empires Kingdoms is really bad. i The UI does not let you easily read numbers, is crowded, they chose light colors that can not be easily distinguished. In my case moving the cursor to the edge of the map causes the game to get black for like 5 seconds and then every few seconds later. Empire had a big scale, you fight and expand and build an Empire. Every turn you move armies to conquer. Kingdom is about waiting for Authority to allow you to do things. It is by no means fun. And it is no grand scale strategy. In Empires you can start as any nation and build an Empire. Some are harder than others, but even with one region nations, you can expand and expand and catch up to the big guys. Here the emphasis is on reality. Which means the stronger nations easily steamrolls the smaller one. Reality is for simulations no for Wego Multiplayer games. And so I can not recommend Kingdoms. Maybe they fix the colors and the UI and the black screens later. But still it is the much inferiour gaming experience to Field of Glory Empires. And calling it the successor is very missleading. This is more a single player simulation. Not a good strategy game.
