I do miss hard movement limitations. It's a feature that I really would like to see again. It was a mistake to give all units the ability to traverse water and mountains. The lack of this restriction does take away options to define and differentiate units and races, and reduces the importance of the underground. It also makes map design more boring and guts the importance of abilities that affect mobility and of spells that terra-form the map. It was really noticeable when I played AoW 1, AoW:SM and AoW III back to back. Both, AoW III and IV, would be better if they had it.
Not only that, they removed rivers and choke points on bridges. Mountains don't block movement. Everything feels flat, and I think the game lost strategic depth because of that.

Survey to "help them improve the game". lol

Wonder if there's an option for: "Make a good game instead of this dog shit."
Fairly long survey. Funnily enough I haven't seen a single tv show they asked an opinion of.
You are more patient than I am. I've closed the survey tab at the third or fourth question about social media and other unrelated shit.

I finished it, but it is mostly that. You can eventually give them some actual feedback, but it's all at the end and minimal except for the comment box.

Nobody actually reads that. It is just put there as feel good option.

I have no doubt that you're right, but after getting to the end of the fucking thing, I needed the chance to blast them. :lol:
