This game is really flying under the Shack radar. I have seen very little talk about it. Too bad since it's a kick ass game!

I picked the game up the day it came out and have played quite a bit of MP -- specifically human vs. AI cooperative.

I loved RoN and so far I like RoL; however, there's a lot they took out of RoL that bugs me. There's about 1/6th the MP options that RoN had, the MP interface is complete ass (ugh, Gamespy strikes again), and when playing co-op against AI, they'll up and quit at any given moment in the game.

I assume the AI is constantly thinking ahead, a'la a chess game, and when it realizes there's just no way it can possibly win it just surrenders. This bugs the shit out of me. When the AI does this there's no sense of accomplishment. I want to defeat the AI in battle, not by it assuming 15 minutes from now I'll be destroying his last city.
