Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 106 sampled reviews raised it
Instead of trying to do everything at once I'd embrace Praetorians or Knights&Merchants (if you're old enough to remember that one) and simplify the builder part (the current number of resources&grind seem excessive) while simultaneously deepen the combat side, add more unit variety and combat nuance.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 106 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are great, and I like the UI and overall design of the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
5 of 106 sampled reviews raised it
Armies are large, you can fully customize armor, shields, and weapons, there are functional walls, gates, and siege engines, etc.
