It's obvious that especially the graphics are made with love. Visually great while carrying most of the main gameplay mechanics from the legendary aoe2, BUT:

Devs, please don't make us write the problems in the recommendations when they have been already reported in your forums months ago and was ignored. They are really tiny issues and it's not worth ignoring at the cost of annoying people with inconveniences. I don't remember every single one obviously but some of the ones i do are: (Please remember that the issues the game has are REALLY REALLY minor)

1- Mongol technology from archery range has a visual bug where "Siha Bow Limbs" icon stays with an error message. For people who don't visit forums and see it's an actual bug can be very frustrated especially since it's a mastery rank.

2- Both stone and wood walls have a bug (not just visual) when you build in long lines sometimes 1 to 4 tiles of walls disappear during construction and yes, units can pass through that opening and the game doesn't allow you to build over the empty spaces again.

3- Chinese civilization has a bug that if you try to build the landmark of the next age too fast after building one while you have dynasty landmarks available for build, the game only gives you 2 random options among all available landmarks/dynasty landmarks instead of normal set age options. For example from Castle Age to Imperial Age it offers one of two: Imperial Palace and Great Wall Gatehouse

4- I am actually unsure if this is a bug or intention, as someone who completed all the achievements in aoe2 and now about to complete aoe4 ones i'd say it's suspicous. Most civilizations have certain kill count achievements with certain units. Every one of them except HRE has the kill count of 1000 (1k) for those while HRE is 10000 (10k). I don't want to believe it's a mistype issue but thought it was worth mentioning. (I was expecting generally more grindy achievements in aoe4 but it's more relaxed compared to aoe2 so this is not a complaint really. Just funny if it was a mistype)
