Pros + Cons

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.
Comment

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.
Comment

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.
Comment

Pro
 Depth through specilization

Due to the limited number of buildings that can be used in a town the player must weight their options smartly of what to build up in these slots in order to succeed.
Comment

Pro
 Easy army management

Streamlined from previous titles the player focuses more on generals and admirals over regions, which makes moving around the map easier as well as gearing up attacks
Comment

Con
 Lacking explanation in areas

The decisions in the game sometimes have little context even though they may result in large consequences, which makes the decisions difficult as there is no way to know the reason to make them or how they will end up.
Comment

Pro
 Active multiplayer scene

Despite the age of the game there is still many people playing online so it can be easy to find online matches.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent campaign

Each mission in the campaign plays out slowly and requires careful planning, slight mistakes and the game is not that forgiving. this means the player must give full attention to the game and its enthralling story as it unfolds.
Comment

Con
 Slow

The pacing is quite slow, which may take a player quite a while to get interested in the game. This may be a turn off for some as it can take too long before interesting plot points happen.
