Most of the new buildings are generally pretty good, but a few structures have terrible textures. Immortals and Monks don't play the hero birth sound) and are missing animations. Several units have the wrong sounds (e.g. And a lot of units/buildings still have the descriptions of the original asset they were cloned from! Jiangshi are supposed to be hopping zombies, but they don't hop at all since they reuse an animation. It just serves to make them feel more like a mod than a unique part of the game. There's one scenario, set in China, that has a great big Egyptian shrine blighting the landscape!Ī lot of units also reuse assets from the base game + The Titans. It doesn't look particularly oriental at all.

The visual design of the maps/cutscenes reuse content already in the game. Cutscenes have unmissable visual bugs and sound issues. The actual missions are lacking in guidance and the level of polish the Ensemble campaigns have. Lots of bugs that still haven't been fixed, and the game balance is wonky. It's pretty sloppily put together, and largely fan-made (which wouldn't be an issue if even the barest level of quality control was present).
