I'm actually really enjoying this game. Playing as greeks, I'm up to level 28. I understand your problems with the game though. You really do need a premium civ to fully enjoy the game. Plus, it's a bit buggy at the moment, and some of the quests are a bit repetitive and bland.

However, I really enjoy the gameplay. It reminds me of AOE2, just with lush, cartoon graphics. Apparently, there's some major patches coming out in the near future that will fix many peoples problems with the game, plus skirmish hall, extra civs, etc are being added later, so it looks like it's only going to get better.

My personal score for it would probably be an 8, with the potential to go higher with patches/coming content.

Hey Squid where you hear about some patch fixes for this game. I cant get anywhere with the support in preventing a black screen and a shutdown due to overheating. Apparently my computers running to fast for the game. What kills me is windows live which is the access to play the game was told not to help anyone with any problems with this game because its for me. When in fact its not. So Microsoft is actually ripping us off. Anyway like I said where you hear about a patch im curious because I wanna follow up on it..
