It's a very well thought-out RTS. Gameplay is polished and very good at what it is. However, beware that this game will not suit a player who is expecting a traditional RTS experience. This game plays like an Warcraft 3 style RTS mixed with a city builder and a board game and this blend of genres comes with its pros and cons. I haven't played any other game that felt like this and because of that I needed a lot of time to get used to it.
Playing through ~2-3 campaign missions is a MUST to learn how to play properly. Otherwise You will be spending a lot of time trying and failing to grasp all the different mechanics that this game just keeps throwing at you in a single match.
Also - because of its board-game-esque gameplay, a single match takes ~2 hours on average to finish. 1v1 may last an hour or so, but do not expect to crank out 2 matches in an hour - that's impossible even when You play through campaign and a bunch of skirmish matches.
Despite the fact that I come from traditional RTS and Tactical RTS genre and this game is a bit slow for me, I play it a lot lately. Highly recommended. You won't find a similar experience anywhere.
Conquest mode is my favorite because of the passive bonuses you get. The problem is that sometimes the final battle is so unsatisfying. It's randomly selected so it sometimes gives a completely stupid battle that doesn't let you really make use of the passives.
I also wish I could pick passives for fun in a by myself game custom game. I'd be fine with not getting achievements. That way I could remake my own glorious finish to a conquest with all the passives I did earn. It can just be really unsatisfying.
Also, sometimes they will patch things without warning that are actually large changes to gameplay.
Solid gameplay around garnering resources and maintaining those streams. I like that there are multiple pathways to victory. My opinion is a bit outdated to be fair, the last RTS I played was BFME 2. Solid game though
