Cons
Con Laggy
Spawning too many units can cause intense lag. Same goes for using maps that are bigger than the gigantic size setting, They used to load just fine but when the custom map sizes were replaced by the preset tiny/small/medium/big/huge/gigantic sized they just stopped working.
Con Slow updating time
Updates take some time to come out.
Con Some improvements to Performance still needed on GIGANTIC worlds
Con Some bugs
It always freezes at 90 percent loading for no reason.
Con Slow development
The creators don't listen to any of the good suggestions that could possibly bring life to this “fantasy” from the sneak peeks. They're adding better buildings for dwarfs that should have already been in the game. The game just feels very behind on updates and content, not clear if the creators even know what they want to do with the game overall. If you buy the game, you will have fun with for a little while, then realize there is legit nothing to do. You will get bored, then wait a month for an update. If you want some underdeveloped game buy WorldBox.
