Well said. Btw, the developers are on this board. I'm waiting for them to finally come out and tell us A: why this game is such a mess when it is built on an existing code, IE not much had to be changed, and B: when can we expect all bugs to be finally resolved? I honestly stopped playing after the 10th time the game crashed when I wanted to cast "Justice", and went back to play Crossworlds.
This is bad news - KB had bugs, sure, but never on this level, and they were all fixed eventually. KB was never like other TBS games that failed horribly of late -I'm thinking Elemental: War of Magic (or should I say Tragic?) that had a 500 MB patch released the DAY the game was released, and which had a terrible linear campaign you could finish in 8 hours, or Warlock: Master of the Arcane which was released as basically a sandbox, and a bad one at that - yes, I'm not kidding, for 25$ you got a (bad) random map generator game with no multiplayer or even a campaign. KB really, really shouldn't sink to this level. Especially now that Age of Wonders 3 is coming. While a different breed of TBS, it will certainly be a rival to not just Ubisoft's Heroes franchise, but KB too. 1C should really start taking itself seriously and not release something that is barely alpha-tested as a final game.
I mean, heck we have been basically alpha/beta-testing this game since 2012 Nov. Look at the bug thread - more then 110 pages. And look at the bugfixes thread. If anything, the names of those people who provided bugfixes should be in the next patch's credits.
