Reached the Alliance Campaign and hearing "Yes my lord" in the exact same cadence as the first game makes me feel all warm and comfy inside.

Selecting an Orc naval unit and hearing it say "Ay Matey" will never not be endearing.
Review Vallejo 5/5 · Nov 1, 2023
Man, I miss the golden years of the RTS era.
By today standards this game barely comes through. It overstays its welcome by quite a bit and can get a little repetitive. But there is an 11 year old inside me that jumps and fist bumps the f***ing air whenever I hear a "You're under attack!" or a "Work work". …
Man, I miss the golden years of the RTS era.
By today standards this game barely comes through. It overstays its welcome by quite a bit and can get a little repetitive. But there is an 11 year old inside me that jumps and fist bumps the f***ing air whenever I hear a "You're under attack!" or a "Work work". It is a seminal game, an incredible upgrade over its first part and a title that build my tastes and expectations as a gamer. I wouldn't be such a lore lover if it wasn't for those long introductions. Lovely, lovely game.
