The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good

  • The game is finally out and looks beautiful.
  • Map edges aren’t cut off by the sky.
  • Paved roads and the new house density system work well.
  • The military system is deeper and more fun.
  • Some buildings are now upgradeable.
  • New coat of arms customization and game rules system.

The Bad

  • Poor optimization and occasional crashes (even on a 4060Ti).
  • Some bugs, mostly graphical.
  • No restart button or displayed game seed. Solved: It's on the bottom of the ESC menu, above the game version, you can click on it to copy it to the clipboard.

The Ugly

  • Many masterpieces were removed, and a new monument is paid DLC.
  • Buildings like churches and taverns have fewer options; why no more whitewashed churches?
  • Some design decisions look worse than in the pre-release builds.
