Now that Immortal Empires has released I can say I truly enjoy this game. Performance issues are (mostly) worked out, a lot of the more annoying bugs are gone and the gameplay is much more enjoyable without a railroad. The most recent DLC shows they haven't lost touch and the dev team in charge of updating the game is much more qualified than the team that actually made the game.
