Ok my first opinions.
Hopefully many things can be patched or altered or at least more options added in game to suit the individuals preferences.
THE BAD
The speed of the AI moves on the strategy map.Far too fast now and actually hurt my eyes at first.found lowering the Gamma helped which i never had to do in STW.
(individual should have option to change)
Reinforcements are really bad.
Firstly my reinforcements have never appeared in any game i have played yet.
Secondly i hate the way the enemy reinforcements appear.I have had them coming from my end of a bridge battle?
Thirdly it's a mega pain on a timed battle trying to seek out all these reinforcements coming from all directions.
(individual should have option to change)
The campaign(i have only done sengoku) is far too easy apart from the reinforcements as above.
I think the lowering of prices and build times is really bad and needs addressed.Maybe it's quicker'but is that a good thing?I liked the satisfaction of STW knowing i had won a campaign through skill etc and hard fought battles and good management.now i can have monks'Geisha and citadels within a few years etc etc.
The Good
I like the ability to see ports on the stratety map and also press shift and see population loyalty.The way the interface can be activated on the main screen rather than having to leave the main screen.The way you see the buildings in provinces is all big improvements.
Also the way the rebels are named and get their own colours.(Big thumbs up to all above)
The new game types seem fun'but i have only tried KOTH.Seems a shame as every time i go in the lobby all i see is people hosting Last man standing.
The map editor seems good'but i need a dummys guide.
The new units are good too.
Anyway just a brief view.
