Through the Ages reviews

Pretty buggy the Game, even at the lightest level the AI always seems to get the Cards it needs right now. Strange is also the Starch calculation, in Combat a 3:3 always counts as lost to Humans, but when it comes to getting something, then a 3.3 always counts for AI. So with such and similar Bugs, the Game is more of a Scam for the AI, thus completely nullifying the fun of The Game ... Wars, if you are allowed to start one, are completely in vain ... Nothing is destroyed or Points in Research, Culture etc ... Detracted, not even the defeated Army is lost, Wars are just useless ... You just have more to click, otherwise nothing happens! I have now played about 7 Hours with an AI on the lowest LvL and am already fouled, don't want to know what bad Advantages the AI gets on the heaviest LvL ... All of this can only be viewed negatively, because it is not fair in any Way. Another Shortcoming: In the Tutorial I was able to raise my Troops several times for Coloning, in the Game Itself this is no longer possible, if you have chosen only 2 Troops, if you already stand as a Loser, nothing more with an Increase in the Troop requirement for Colonization. Verdict: Game seen ... Bought..... Played..... And uninstalled again, since Frustration is higher than Gameplay, no Wonder (apropo Miracle, the AI builds without Resources 3 or 4 Miracles, how does that work?) with all the Cheating and The Unfairness! PS: Another Bug discovered ... Restlessness: Man loses some of his Resources! AI ignores this and continues to play without losing any! There are more and more Bugs!

Through the Ages has long Been one of the great Classics among the "Civ" games, which are about the Leadership of a Civilization from Antiquity to Modernity. The digital Version takes advantage of all The Advantages of the Medium to give the board game a new Flavor here. The difficult Rules are conveyed in one of the best and most entertaining Tutorials the Genre has ever seen. Nevertheless, the Learning Curve remains steep for Beginners. Finding The right balance between Food and Building Material, between research and religion, between civil and military Construction, remains a major Challenge even after several Games and the AI is not easy to overscore even at the lowest Level. Please more of the same, Czech Games!

What else is to be said? For Years we have been playing Vlaada'S Games and are once again enthusiastic about the Ideas, the Humour and the Implementation as a Game. Through The Ages is no Exception here. Great Game with excellent Implementation and a very funny Tutorial, which brings you quite close to the Rules of the game. CGE is also showing for the second time what a Board Game Implementation must look like. As with Galaxy Truckers, the Company has given a lot of Thought to Implementation, Presentation and multiplayer mode. From Pass-and-Play to asynchronous and synchronous Multiplayer. If you just want to enjoy the Game, you can let off steam at custom games and Challenges. If DungeonLords and MageKnight were to come, (almost) no Wishes would be left.

You have to be Patient already. After a feeling 20 Games, I finally won at the easy Level. This is also because, despite the excellent Tutorial, you need some Games to understand the Game Mechanics. First Lesson: There are many Paths to the Goal, but you can't tread them at the same time. :) I didn't know the Games in the tabletop version before. But you get a Clue that the app version makes it much easier for you to Take account. ;) The Game is very lovingly worked out and just Fun. As a Beginner, you also get Hints here and there if you haven't used certain Resources in a Round. This is also very helpful at first. However, I would still like to see these Notices disabling later.
