    Grand Ages: Medieval rewards strategists, people who like to plan ahead and like to take time to sit back and oversee the big picture before deciding what to do next. Micromanagement is not required, just encouraged, and optimizing town wealth, output and growth through trade can be a fun challenge all by itself.

    If you want to rule over Europe you can look forward to complex trading and city building. For military strategist it may fall short.

    I liked my time with Grand Age: Medieval, but after spending a lot of time in the Balkans in my first campaign, I want to see whether there's variety in switching to another region for the start town.

    Simplistic combat and a lack of variety mean that it begins to run out of steam by the end-game, but if you’re looking for a more relaxed approach to world domination, Grand Ages: Medieval is a perfectly solid option.

    Even with a fast forward button games of Grand Ages: Medieval will take a large chunk of time, furthermore the game forces you to take part in heavy trade to be able to keep your money out of negative and if you decide to go towards a more militaristic route then you will need to be able to fund your army.

    Grand Ages: Medieval is a wasted opportunity. It tries to be original in many ways, but lacks in too many key aspects.

    Extremely slow-paced strategy game sacrifices all the fun and features to economic complexity what –at the end– doesn’t work that well. [Issue#257]

I gave it higher review than what i thought mostly from those who are jumping on the bandwagon to giving this game low reviews. While seemingly barebone at first, this game has amazing depth once you play more than a few hours into it and it is a really challenging game to learn. The learning curve and combination of having to micromanage everything is what throws many people off. General tip, only produce enough to have a surplus but not enough to completely fill storage.… Expand

    Yes, this game has issues. But it's also a fascinating mix of economy and military. Don't expect too much of military tactics. And don't buyYes, this game has issues.

And don't buy the game because of its title and then boohoo because it has nothing to do which "Grand Ages: Rome"...

This is not aI feel like a lot of the negative reviews are coming from people who didn't do their homework on this game before buying. This is not a combat based game nor is it the same as the preceding Grand Ages: Rome (which is clearly stated by the developer on the Steam page). So if you find it boring, maybe try a game that isn't clearly about trade and management instead of slaughter. Personally, I've been enjoying this. It isn't perfect by any stretch, but in my view, it is certainly not deserving of the super low ratings.… Expand

That being said, its extremelyI am a big fan of economic simulators and the realism is evident in the supply-demand aspect of the game. That being said, its extremely difficult to create a balanced enough economy to even hire your first set of soldiers to defend against raiding groups. I was hoping for more options for city buildings, policies and commodities, but there is still plenty to work with. The graphics are decent and the scale of the map is another plus. Battles are rather boring leaving the trading and economic strategy as the primary focus of the game. Would recommend if you are into the trading and economic aspects otherwise I think you will be disappointed.… Expand

Game is very basic and from the get-go you understand that it's designed to require tons of DLc before it becomes anything other than medicore game. Not to mention that pre-order price was 38 euros, which was supposedly -15% off, but the launch price is 36.99.… Expand

My bad for assuming that the game would be anything like GA: Rome which its not, at all, obviously I liked the original since I bought this pile of dog dung. I hope Kalypso fails in the near future, they can't be allowed to continue like they are, making DLC games, ripping off old titles to sell you garbage. Not to mention if you were a moron like me and pre-ordered on STEAM you can't get a refund since you're outside of 2 weeks. Never mind all those people who get to try the game and get a refund.. you pre-purchased 3 weeks ago so we're not refunding you LOL.. what a joke even though you only wasted 30 minutes and found this game to be a complete waste of time. Save your money.. its nothing like "Grand Ages" I still can't even figure out why the heck they used that title.. would have been better off starting with something new... oh but wait.. its Kalypso they need more money and more DLC games in their catalog so god forbid they make a 'classic' type of RTS/City Builder.. Nope not here!… Expand
