For the name and picture in the box, the game is a disappointmentt for me. Hard and repetitive

The game is a RTS with a lot of potential, but the problems of the game destroy everything. First of all, the campaign is very hard even on moderate, it´s hard to win a map in the first time, even if you are a god of RTS.
Second, it´s very, very repetitive: in the box you can see different civilizations, but in the game, the units are all the same,
and in the campaign you will find yourself attacking with the same army, even if you choose Greece or Egypt.
Third: A lot of problems that REALLY destroy the game. For example It´s hard to the units walk from point A to B, so you will find a lot of frustration here.

I really tried to like the game, I finished the Greece campaign on moderate and other maps.
Maybe online is better, because offline, the game failed for me.

(ps This review is of the original, without the Expansion Pack, it solve some of the technical problems)
