Reviewers Didn't Like
- Some pathfinding issues
- The AI is still lacking
- The prologue is a good introduction to the gameplay, but a lot of game mechanics aren't explained very well
- Some things, like families, simply don't make sense
- So many factions, that waiting between turns can be quite protracted
