    Good Game but needs work. For the deves

    My overall problem with the game isn't that it's not fun or that it's uninteresting, but it's not interesting enough the factions are very hollow, and given that there is difference there's not enough difference in playstyles, for example, you could play as humans, Giants and other, but they don't really feel different. You have different spells and abilities, But in between all of that, they're not that different regardless of what race you play as you get all of the same options for spells and development so it feels very same same., it is a really cool concept it is a fun game to play i do recommend, i just wish it was more in depth and believe it or not I wish the gameplay loop was longer and maybe more detailed, but besides that they're not being enough differences between factions. There's also when you equip unique items, it doesn't change your character portrait or model, for full price game, I mean I would expect at least something that simple, it's a gripe and not necessarily a complaint. I wish the city's vassal states would change more when you upgrade them a lot more than what they do. I wish the units were more varied or looked a little bit more different than they already do or if you chose to do combat yourself that the combat was a little bit more in depth than it actually is it's very 2 dimensional I'm sorry to say, or with the DLC'S i would I wish that they would change the core game more AND FEEL LIKE A NEW EXPERIENCE, but it's more like skins that you buy on top of it and not enough change, that being said I will also probably end up at some point buying all the DLC for this game because it is fun., i don't know more variations between factions maybe more in depth mechanics more longer gameplay, and that's ironic giving that one typical session will last 10 to 20 hours to get to like the midpoint, But I just wish it was more,... also, you gave us vampires, give us werewolves, and don't make them look like furries like the druid wolf people in the game already do, and if I'm going to be evil, let me be evil. If I'm going to be good, let me be good. And if I'm going to be neutral, let me be neutral. It is too easy to change you're overall play Style. I think it is a good thing that you can change it, but you change it too easily based off of one choice. Summerization, more in depth, longer gameplay loop the idea you're going for fantastic, just make it more of that. Also, maybe if I'm going to be a more religious faction like templars, whether that be good or evil give me gods in the game to build temples too. And a model for the temple or something like that. and maybe a God likes you better. The more good you are, or the more evil you are. And then you get better benefits based off of that... and it feels like some factions are xenophobic, but why are these xenophobic? There is no substance to it, And if a civilization is inclusive, why are they inclusive, also, maybe spies would be a cool idea, the whole reason why I even got into this idea is because it is the only world based strategy game like this. That has mythical and magical beasts in that isn't overly exaggerated. Over the top, I just wish it was more in depth.
