I honestly feel like this game has potential, but they released an incomplete version of it just to get more money or something. This game is actually still far from releasable. They needed another year, release it with 4 civs for a decent prize and with good UI/Matchmaking/Clans/everything the community has asked for. Its unsatisfactory for the competitive gamer due to the lack of functions (except matchmaking that lets you play against the first person found).
Its not like im not going to change this vision, but a lot of people will. The result will be a small community, and if thats the case I prefer aoe3 or sc2
