Buggy as hell ai in both battles and on the map, stripped down features, graphical problems, multiplayer that does not work, unbalanced units, and whoring of dlc that should of been included in the full game is what you can expect from this rushed title that is once again a classic example of a game that has spent all its money on advertising and buying out journalists than actually making a working game that enhances the series.
Don't get me wrong I love total war and creative assembly but when a game this broken is getting only the highest reviews and awards by established games journalists who clearly haven't played the game or are lying something needs to change.
For a fully honest and in-depth analysis of the cons and pros of the game I would check out Angry Joe's channel on youtube.
Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3, Sim City, and Rome 2 are all examples of why you should not preorder a game even when they try and force you too with taking parts of the game out as dlc if you don't. Its hurting the game industry and lets game companies profit from crappy broken games if they have enough money to hide it in advertising.
Also on a critique to mighty ape, why let people review games before they are released- These reviews, bar one, are not proper reviews. They just people talking about how much they love the series and how they have seen the adverts and can certify that it looks like its going to be a good game. Not helping anyone except fuelling this broken system the games industry is in.
