Review in Finnish "Pelit" Magazine

[ElectricEel]

There is nothing really new in this review. However, it seems to confirm the information in an earlier (p)review that you can unlock the factions not available for play at start by defeating them in the campaign. The review is very positive, giving the game 94 out of 100 points, but it does have two complaints; the main one being that the AI does not perform well in sieges (including milling around aimlessly in some cases), and a minor one (in the opinion of the reviewer) that the pace is a bit too fast for the bigger battles. According to the review, most battles will be sieges.

Ugh just like in R:TW with the number of siege battles.
It's a shame really that CA still haven't managed to get armies to meet on the field.
However most siege battles are simple mop-ups as you probably won't assault a fully manned garrison, which makes it even worse imo. Because auto-resolve doesn't work very well...

Well, I wonder if the magazine had the latest build for reviewing. The AI was tweaked right up to the gold version and I reckon they are still tweaking the AI.

So, I think the AI will be a bit better.

I think they had the build 47 as well.
I remember someone mentioned it that this magazine got the game and was gonna review it like 2-3 weeks ago which puts it at the same time as the PCgamer reviewers.

I think CA said they had noticed this doing nothing bug and would fix it in a release patch.
