I will just pirate this game and not even play it, instead leaving it in the pirate folder to be shared with other sailors of the high seas whilst we all watch Russia rightly smacking the territory known as Ukraine. Down with NATO aggression! Long live Mother Russia!
I've just bought this, but GoG does not allow either the online installation or the download of the offline installer. The online installation gets stuck at 2%, then GoG assumes the game is correctly installed, which it self-evidently is not, and, because it is not, you cannot uninstall it either. Get your act together, GoG. As for me, I'm going to return this right now.
The devs took the flawed gem of WBC2, which was a very good game for its time, and increased the flaws whilst throwing away the gem. The new races look stupid and contrived - well, I guess the lizard men are half ok and half stupid, which is more than can be said for insects and plague men -; the hero system is dumbed down to the point of being a joke; the new interface is ugly and clashes with the fairytale-like appearance of the rest of the game, including that of the evil races; the campaign is boring and bland and a chore to play through compared to that of WBC2, which, despite lacking a plot and being just a glorified game of Risk, was far more entertaining. Have I mentioned that, amongst the new units in this game, you have tyranosaurus and triceratops? Holy basement sales, Batman, very creativity and much wow! With the exception of the three new races, which, as I said, are either stupid or very stupid, this is just a slight graphic improvement over the content of WBC2, but more boring and bland. Get it on sale if you really feel like having a go at Lord of the Rings vs Jurassic Park.
