Pros
Pro Both players (in multiplayer) take part in every fight
If one player decides to fight in real-time instead of auto-resolving a battle, the other player joins the fight on their team. The owner of the army can then delegate control of some of their units to their teammate. This system brings a lot of fun and strategy into the game.
Pro Play the campaign together in multiplayer
During co-op play, every player takes control of a clan and can manage it just as they would in single-player mode.
Pro Games are long
Cons
Con Games are long
Even a short campaign can fill dozens of hours. Be prepared to play for at least two hours per session if you plan to get anything done.
