I don't know, I played it and I hate it. The weapon system is unlogical. I mean 4 different key to attack and another one to block WTF? The fighting system isn't better, no feedback for the weapon range and driven by to much luck. Then the animations are so awfully slow, I mean i could reload my mortar 2 times while the guys are grabbing their swords. There is no real visual feedback for arrows as a archer, you don't really know if you hit or not. Another point: It looks like crap. The source engine can do way better than that. The only thing I like is how they implemented the lore into the game. The Crusade map and the map briefing thats sweet.
like when you run over people in a tank...their corpses get stuck in the tracks and stop you from moving, and you have to go and fish the limbs out, like what happened in "the beast"
May I suggest this fine game instead? http://www.bgmod.com/ Ever done a linebattle? You thought mortar was slow, here it takes 7 seconds to even reload a gun.
Bgmod > AoC Bgmod was at least fun when i played it. AoC is just a single "WTF?!" and "Why do people waste time coding such shit?!" for me.
I like this mod, it's really satisfying when you peg a guy in the head from half-way across the map with a dagger. :D
