Hard

i found it extremly hard do to many bug/glitches expeasoly with the Ai auto atack they wouldent do anyting i told them if theay got into a battle i could see how that would helf for defending ur casle but for a rade grupe it made it hard to do anyting work on glitches like the auto ai that took priorty over everything and made it so that if a unit got hung up on a tower or somthing they would atomaticaly walk around it and also add like shift an auto deselect all units and it would be alot better

freeworldgroup responds:

not bugs - but yeah our next version will have extra features so that the units respond more directly to orders and can go around objects : - )

fun

this games was very fun but at a certain point it became very easy as how to beat the game.....the cannons need a better way to be defeated...for example i can set up a shit load of cannons and noone will get near me and if by some chance a horseman gets close enough my archers or my horseman take em out...and at the certain point when the enemy stops engaging you..most people jus go all out afterthe enemy and start dying.. i set up camp a lil bit away fro mthe enemy send in a lone horseman to draw them in by me so i take em out lil by lil..and if you can manage to gett he enemies to come at you thru mountains or forest where is slows em down they dont stand a chance against the cannons..maybe incorporate some catapaults which have a better range then the cannons...i am in now way saying this game was bad but if i had the skill to make something like this i would want to know what my players think...does the full version have more troops and weopens?

Pretty amusing

Well, I did have quite a bit of fun playing this game. Maybe an hours worth. The only real problem I see with this is that the god damn troops won't listen to you. Numerous times I've set up a trap, I've left cannons on mountains and I send in some quick moving cavalry to attract the enemies. However, when I move to retreat...the cavalry just goes back to the enemy and just simply put, the get slaughtered. So, I just wasted a helluva lot of time getting up the slow ass cannons onto a bloody hill, and now I have to get 'em down. Wonderful. I give it a 7 for keeping me amused, none-the-less.

Not gonna work...

I'll be one of the first to admit that this game was good, but there are just a lot of issues that you just can't avoid in a flash game. First being the usage of troops. You have no idea how frustrating it was to have my units move whenever i decided to select a new unit or to build a building. Because everything was tied to the left click (which I'm guessing you had to do) everything happened at once.

Then there was the weird way to select units. I understand the whole left click a unit to select em...but if its tied to a group, then left clicking only de-selects them. To select a single unit, you have to click and drag over that one unit which can be kinda hard if you have a lot of units in one area.

Lastly there is this annoying little thing with the units....they auto attack, even if i give them orders to the contrary. I lost my general multiple times because i would click to get the dood to move, but instead he'd stay and fight the enemy. No wait, actually he'd run away for a single step, then turn and fight again. Clicking multiple times in rapid succession didn't do a thing about it either. All it did was get him killed faster cause he'd stop fighting to run a step then go back and fight some more, just before decided to run a step again.

I honestly believe that this could be a great game, but it just doesn't work very well in flash. There are too many things that you have to work around that it just lowers the overall greatness that is your game.

neat

neat game nicely done, as an age of empires-aholic i found it playable but annoying and the usual complaints units get stuck its hard to select certain units in a crowd and small things like that, that really ruin gameplay otherwise its was enjoyable and level 4 totally owns its near impossible to get past those cannon towers
