The game still has a feeling of AoE about it, which I was surprised about, but I dont like how the unit behaviour works, now the formation and stance are linked, ie: defensive stance (stand ground) puts you into square formation, You can work around this by moving to where you want to go in volly stance (aggresive stance, line formation) and then go defensive when you get to where you want to go, but you shouldnt have to work around it like this. When Stone Walls are upgraded to Fortified Walls, the Gates get. It can be built in existing Stone Walls to have an opportunity to let friendly units through, while keeping enemies out. However I really like the cards system, where you level up your home city and can specialise your town a little more to make it a bit more unique, however I think the demo is limited to level 9, I hit level 9 at 70k, and am still at it now at 122k XP, but regardless its well implimented. The Gate is a defensive structure in Age of Empires II that becomes available once the Feudal Age is reached.

The game seems pretty damn good, however this demo is VERY limited, theres onyl campaign (which I havent looked at) and a 1v1 skirmish with 2 diffrent map generators (texas, and new england) and its always English vs Spanish.
