Thanks. Gotta take the wins where you can! I agree, it does make it a bit easy, if I didn't though, infantry slaughter cavalry head on (they have bayonets) so it's almost the only way to beat them. The computer also has the speed advantage on switching units/reacting.
@ThanetianGaming Thank you for answering! I remember beating the original game as a child; it gave me a sweat, but even then I thought certain things were too easy to exploit... And to get satisfaction, I need a challenge... Hence, I'll stay away from this game - even though it brings nice associations and thr general concept is cool. Cheers! PS Plus, it generally ruins the experience in most cases to use exploits, as it allows a player to skip the interesting mechanics - like in a shooter game, where at an easy level you will never have to crawl, hide, or use various weapons... It's only acceptable if the player is seeking just one aspect of the product, intentionally neglecting the others - like, say, in Assassin's Creed played just to enjoy the ancient architecture... On the other end of the scale we have those guys who proudly announce: "this game to me is just a walk in the park! I used the immortality code and beat it without dying even once! Behold, mere mortals!" 😆
@@miceliusbeverus6447 I've never been to Rome but with Assassin's Creed I feel like I have! I know what you mean. When I was younger I had a game called Speedball 2 that came with a built in cheat menu. I'd get infinite money and just upgrade my whole team and flatten the opponents with ease. Soon lost its charm.

Nice to watch it! But being able to cheese like that, it's way too easy...
