Ancestors Legacy

This is a RTS with a focus on units (squad based) and less on building, the micro managment in combat is dictated not just by positioning, but by the use of units' action and formation too, on the other side building can be build in a specific amount and position, personally i love it, due to improve game timing and the quality of combat avoiding building "bricks" monsters alla around the map, even if many player will see it as a flaw. The campaign give variety in objective and map, multiplayer/skirmish give a more competitive appeal.

I like this game a lot. You get about what you'd expect from a medieval RTS, both the good and the bad. There's a lot of story content to go through, especially if you get the DLC. Most missions are fairly straight forward and not particularly challenging. That said, there were a few major battles that cranked things up a notch, usually towards the end of each campaign. These battles helped tremendously to payoff some of the less stimulating content leading up to them. Voice-acting could be better and you do have to go through the faction campaigns in a certain order, but I didn't mind that as much as others have. In terms of the actual mechanics, it's pretty simple. There isn't a lot of unit variety so you'll pick things up pretty fast. Each faction has a couple different types of infantry, ranged, or cavalry units that perform largely the same in principle. However, the factions themselves have various strengths and weaknesses that alter the performance of those units. Furthermore, each faction has a different hero unit with unique abilities that help tie things together and can outright win a skirmish if used well. Timing and resource management will be very important. Infantry can take awhile to reach the fight and better units with upgraded armor aren't cheap. The AI will easily outproduce you if you aren't careful, so be prepared to fend off a lot of attacks on your base and resource nodes if you prefer the slow methodical approach. My favorite aspect of the game is the level of immersion as a battle progresses. Bodies and gore remain on the field, so you quite literally see the cost laid out in front of you. This can cause a bit of a performance hit in matches that drag on as you might have hundreds of bodies on the field by the end of it. Otherwise, I haven't had many issues with bugs or performance. Perhaps the biggest issue you will come across is that unit pathing can be a bit frustrating at times. This problem is exacerbated on certain maps that have winding roads or verticality (think curved path up a mountain). You'll notice that troops might go around their asses to get to their elbows, causing them to be late to the party or miss it altogether. This can lead to some micromanaging at times, but really only becomes frustrating on certain maps in my experience. I would pay particular attention to siege units because they're incredibly slow, so it sucks to lose them because they took a dangerous route. Overall, I think the game is well worth it, especially considering the complete edition often goes on sale for less than $10. I highly recommend the DLC because the Saracens are really fun to play with (not so much against lol). The Saracen Grenadiers are very strong, but not without a counter as their range is rather limited and they're pretty squishy (they also love friendly fire). Plus the assassin units are really cool, albeit difficult to use at times. There's far more than $5.10 of content here (Winter Sale price), so you can't really go wrong if you're interested. I've really enjoyed my time going through the various campaigns, not to mention the battles I've had with and against my friends have been a blast. My final piece of advice is do not play a match where everyone on your team picks Germany as they start off incredibly slow and are expensive to get going. Trust me, you do not want to see how desperate that can get for you.

玩到一半发现不对劲，AI作弊超视距射人，己方远程只会打友军，就算背射也会打友军，加上AI无限资源，满地图都是杂兵，准备攻城的时候，来个夜晚视距差的时候，超视距给你攻城点了，而你的攻城还要探视野，九十买的不如英雄连2一半的水准，也没有全战的运营带感，最好别买！

“Ancestors Legacy” is a game that is really suitable not only for fans of historical strategy, but also for those who are not afraid to face high levels of difficulty and challenges. If you're looking for something tough and demanding, this is a great choice!

Better than most games of this genre.
