I've finally managed to find s bit of time for the game and went through the campaigns. Well, in my opinion we are blessed to have this game in 2022. It truly IS a love letter to the 90's tbs. I'm still pretty noob at it but I already know I love this game.

I played a custom map a week or two ago for about 15 minutes to give the game another try after a long absence, and to see what kind of changes they've made. I quickly got bored. The AI still wouldn't venture out of the starting location. Nothing new regarding gameplay for any of the factions. I thought they'd at least replaced some of the "wait" and "defend" skills on certain creatures by now, but they're all still there. It was on their fall 2022 to-do list, last I remember, but oh well.
On the bright side, it made me want to play heroes 2 and I ended up starting and finishing the Roland campaign, which is always a good time, no alcohol required.
