Turtle, are you running into issue of a lot of password corruption? It has happened twice now in 3 turns, with my 8 player game. I had to kick guy each time to clear it up.

I'd be willing to give it a try. Game arrived this afternoon, so I'll be installing it this evening without hiccups, hopefully.

Well, the fact that no XP is gained from killing targets themselves (unless it is the quest objective) sort of locks them out of doing an outside area that isn't instanced. There won't be any XP grinding like all the other MMORPG's.

Played Doom this week, and enjoyed it. I'm aiming to snatch up Descent as soon as it becomes available too.

Well, you need to visit the website for your router to see how you open the ports.

I just ordered Doom today, and boy am I looking forward to thrashing my friends as the Invader.

I'm enjoying the retail release of game, personally.

Anyone?  :?

Honestly, I'd wait on buying it.

They do have a mode where you either defend or siege a famous castle.

Another is Kingmaker where you war against other Lords, similiar to multiplayer versus AI.

I'd get Empire Earth 2 though, as this game feels really unfinished.

I can't believe how much of a mess this game is. And the fact they released a patch so quickly is a sign of it. Especially the fact game lags on a high-end computer system, which I'm using. Didn't they run optimization on this code?

1) In tutorial, the Stockpile placement can't happen because the footprint for placing it never appears.

2) Free Play and Defending a Castle Siege end instantly with defeat!

3) Kingmaker won't go past the setup screen and none of the buttons do anything. If anything it looks like a multiplayer setup screen.

4) Multiplayer never connects and from what I hear its a complete joke with so many bugs and missing features!

5) Combat is a chaotic zergfest with a horrible ui for trying to control things. AI is a joke too.

6) The load time at game startup is for what? Compiling the game on my computer because it wasn't finished by the developers?

7) The lack of options in terms of key bindings and such in-game is a joke as well!

I'm not even going to bother ranting about how dated the graphic engine is despite it being such a resource hog!

They rushed this game out the door. It should not be on shelves in this pathetic state!!! I wonder what the reviewers were smoking or bribe with, giving it anything over a 50 percent approval rating.

The game feels really unfinished. As if  they rushed it. Example being the memory leaks and LAG on my top-end computer system.

Not to mention in one scenario you have to 'archer zerg' to get past the objective. And that feels REALLY cheap.

The building organization is a mess too.

Yeah, I'm really disapointed with this game.
