That combat animation screen just has me thinking how much better this game would look if it had pixel graphics. Imagine instead of discount Civ 5/Civ 6 meets average mobile game ad, it was like full on Advance Wars
Yeah… the art style they went with is pretty jarring They really should have done something more stylised or just more pleasant to look at than the low poly basic generic style they went with Might and magic 2 pixel art battles look way better visually than this low visual fidelity mess.
47:20 With all that peace, I remember a quote recorded by Tacitus about the roman conquest of the germanic tribes "To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."
Got to love how CA was terrified Paradox was closing in on them in regards of large scale realtime battles, proceeds to this game showing static animation bonking other static animation. I think CA can rest easy for another 20 years 🤣
CA's main enemy isn't Paradox, it's Sega. Sega sees no value in the Total War franchise - insisting that TW is too niche, not generic enough to have wide demand - hence the lacklustre Total War: Pharaoh and .... Hyenas.
@@meilinchan7314 Somewhat atleast, the Original CA crew is no more either, so all the visionary expansion of ideas and improvement also left many years ago, which is sad.
@@ashleywenner1050 This is not made by paradox, they just publisher. The developer is C Prompt, which probably no one heards of before this game. Consider they probably is a small group, the combat is totally acceptable for a 4x game.
The game looks pretty unique to me. It’s got the same theme as Civ, but its approach is way different. The graphics aren’t great, but I don’t play 4x games for the graphics.
You recreated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom but made it work for you! Also lol at the colour grading shift when the Age of Intolerance ends, its like when a US TV show goes to Mexico and everything gets orange
0:34 NITPICK TIME: "millennium" is the singular of millennia. Worth more note, if the steam page is to be believed, it doesn't take place of a single millennium, but over 10, because a millennium is 1000 years.
Paradox wants to get in on the civilisation croud so bad but after humankind I wonder if this one will get as much attention EDIT: To be clear, I hope the game does well, it looks pretty fun, it's just that I am heavily cynical and jaded towards the paradox business model.
Nah, even with some of the jank behind Humankind, it looks better than this. So unless paradox is gonna give this a glow up before release I expect it to end up like Imperitor.
It'll be interesting to see this game develop, because I played a few campaigns before deciding to do a sponsored video and enjoyed them. Hopefully it turns out well and the studio developing it (C Prompt Games) can clean up some of the UI, since I think the actual gameplay-loop of different ages and this type of economic management is pretty unique
@@Tankroy yea but imperator is currently making a possible comeback so this game might be able to do it too? I really like what they did with culture in this game.
Man,the way the fights are done reminds me of the old as fuck age of mythology game for nintendo DS,where ya would fight in exactly that manner,good times.
Bruh. Kleaper really tried to make this game look not as boring as it is. But its still obvious. Like every chaos event is basically: pay up or something bad is going to happen. Esthetics of the game are mega generic and not appealing. Battles do not require much thinking at all. Just gather army with bigger number and you win. The only interesting part is the age progression. But I dont think its redeeming enough.

So true, India claimed ascension while attempting to kill god. Good thing Issac Kleaper made us one.
"Though we would prefer to avoid you, this step was forced upon us" could very well be the official motto of the USA...
"No. A common saying, but not their official motto."
