It's a shame Jakowski abandoned old AOH2 and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the modding community up, the ones that were actually passionate about the game.

I tentatively recommend this game for AoH2 players. While it makes things fresh, more feature dense, and more fun than the original, it still packs in a whole new set of its own new bugs and balance issues. The biggest balance issue I've currently found is the late game, every civ will deploy every last bit of their recruitable manpower if given the...
Its a cheap ass game that runs on a potato
A good, expansive remake of the original game, but no drastic changes. Felt more like a major update or DLC rather than another game that's more expensive than the original.
