So, I'm basically finished with the Road to Indepence campaign (b/c I couldn't play the Grand Campaign due to memory leak lag) and I'm pretty annoyed wth it
British - I only ever fought HORDES of native mounted auxillary, I only ever fought 2 line infantry and a handful of hessians... this seriously bothered me. wtf
Cherokee - BY FAR the biggest enemy, their armies actually made sense (unlike the british) and the battles could be challenging, BUT WHY WAS I CONSTANTLY BEING ATTACKED BY THE ******* CHEROKEE??? AND WHY WERE THEY 5x harder to beat than the british? wtf
Inuit - they declared war on me, wtf
Spain - they declared war on me - they randomly went from "Very Friendly" status to war and invaded boston with an army of colonial militia/cavalary. I killed them over 10 to 1 and they quickly accepted my peace offer. About 10 turns later almost the exact same thing happened. wtf
France - I could never make an alliance, not like I even needed it, but I gave them horses, porcelain, and money but the only thing they would do is counter offer to trade pennsylvania (THE TERRITORY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FREAKING COUNTRY) for the Windward islands and sometimes they'd want to trade for acadia. wtf
Elite units of America DLC - ok, cool enough units, but to get them you have to research almost all the military techs AND build a bunch of buildings. By the time you get them, the war is over... whats the point? wtf
George Washington - Dies of natural causes in 1780. wtf
Ok, from the standpoint of a campaign its not bad b/c it was challenging. But its AWFUL for callling it the Road to Independence; mainly b/c the British were really just Indians on horses with redcoats --- so gay.
played it 1 difficulty above normal, so that may have added to the diplomatic retardation... but still
I know this is a rant and will probably be locked but I feel duped.
Its like thinking your going to get a delicous ribeye steak and you get rotten uncooked ground beef instead. Sry but I got a bad taste in my mouth.![]()
