While playing on Epic, I'm on turn 310, in fine economic shape, and I'm not sure I can summon the will to finish this game. My tax is sitting at 62%, the royal expedition forces are growing by four for every one soldier I crank out.

Love the start of the game. Mid-game fun too. End-game just a loooong grind to be able to push the "finish the game already" button.

Seriously... 62% tax... what the heck? There's no way to make the king happy.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Really not impressed with the game. Very little replayability compared to CIV, lots of MM, a fair amount of luck required to get a good start with the native villages, only two map scripts, 8 leaders...honestly, this isn't a game, it's not even an expansion pack, it's just a scenario. 4.5/10, at best IMO.
