Age of History II

Age of history two is a great game. It’s easy to learn gives you time to think thanks to its turn based nature and that’s why I play. If you don’t like the timelines it gives you, you can also make your own scenarios. Why I took off a star is because the game simplicity can make it feel repetitive or boring. Also not good if like more realism

I play this game in legendary mode because the AI sucks. Even in legendary mode, the AI don’t build up their population, economies, and military to put up a real fight, a real challenge, and not being strategic. The only countries I’ve seen put up a “challenge” is Japan and India. That’s it. It is so rare to find a game where the AI countries do something meaningful. Overseas allies suck. If you want help from allied countries, they have to be in the same continent as you. Overseas allies RARELY ever send their armies to help you. Literally. A nice feature I would like to see is you can send a certain about of military units as a volunteer army for your ally to control on their territory in wars for a certain amount of turns. The max should be 100 turns. A weird annoying bug would happen when your army is traveling through allied territory is they will not be your army anymore. Your ally will suck up your army group and have permanent control over them, therefore you losing them permanently. Sometimes the game doesn’t show you the correct amount of military units therefore not being able to give proper ultimatum to other nations. Diplomatic Relationships will straight up stop working and you can’t improve/insult with other nations. Rebel groups are broken and buggy. They will literally change their flag/territory’s color every turn you make. This game needs a lot of work to be a functional game. Until then, it’s a poorly coded game.
