To start off, I thought the graphics were just as good, if not better, than the screenshots (atleast on my computer). and my laptop is not that great either. it is a
2.0 Penium M Centrino
1 GB DDR2 Pc533 RAM
128 MB Radeon X300 Mobile
and i run the game on 1024 * 768 on high everything BUT shadows. i consider that excellent. the graphics are simply amazing.
The gameplay, I thought, was also very different yet very cool. Immediately, I noticed that the battles took place more frequently. Everything revolved around the trading points. That was very nice because it added a new element of strategy to the game. The units were very well developed, each with its own weakness and strength. Stray from the traditional rock-paper-scissors approach was also very nice.
I think ES needs to fix a few things however:
1. Make it so you can scroll around smoothly. Right now, its more jaggedly than it could be.
2. Make an idle villager button ( i couldn't find it)
I think the demo is a blast. I have had a lot of fun playing it.
Thats all.
Thanks,
