It's a very unremarkable and painfully low budget game. It's jank and not particularly fun based on the demo.
It's all shilled by old bitter TW burnouts as muh TW killer because they hate CA even though the game is nowhere is near a competitor.

Legit zoomers found. He was the first Total War let's player in the early days of Youtube. That doesn't put him in the same category with modern e-celeb faggots. He probably gets a few hundred views at most nowadays for whatever he's doing.
But yea Prince of Macedon didn't even bother reading the manual or doing a tutorial to understand the game. He's kinda retarded.

I like the idea but the game has some serious problems right now.
First, the actual battles have some weird animation to them. Typically for me what happens is the phalanxes start to square off, but only the first couple ranks actually fight. The remainder stand back and do nothing. As the first ranks die, it would seem that the guys to the rear would step up and start fighting, but what actually appears to happen is everyone just starts standing around.
Second is that your forces have absolutely no intelligence to them at all. I'll set up sweet looking flanking maneuvers but when I actually hit the enemy, half of my guys don't wrap around or try to get into combat at all. What should be a devastating cavalry charge instead peels off maybe 1/4 of the phalanx with no issue into a prolonged melee. It's like nobody has any initiative at all, once they can't reach combat they just seem to give up. It really looks less cool than it should as well.

More or less my feelings as well.
There are parts of the game that I think are very cool and interesting, but as a whole it feels more like a weird real time Field of Glory rather than a battle simulator. I know Total War also uses dice rolls to determine everything but it feels less blatant about it.

Watched a video about it, troops visually could look better. They are better than Rome 1 and remastered, but still, I want at least Rome 2 levels, but gameplay seems good and it's good to see some competition for Total War.
That said, it's not on GoG, so I'm not going to buy it for now, probably. I don't like being forced to use Steam.

There was a period TW YouTube was having a huge melty and they were latching ono anything even vaguely historical formation warfare but most of those games are just not a competitor and never even tried to be.

(you) are the zoomer. (You) worship eceleb faggots instead of forming your own opinion. (You) are goy cattle (you) accuse others of being.
>That doesn't put him in the same category
It does.
