Pretty fun, but definitely wait for the full release. Only had the patience to play one game through to victory (my first game)

The core gameplay / society mechanics are "buggy" enough that I'm not sure they are bugs versus flaws in the core implementation. Capturing new territories creates a completely disconnected essentially new game for you to manage. Really makes capturing territories a chore. Not sure why they don't just extent your property or be better tightly coupled. After creating 4 or so settlements from scratch in new territories I couldn't bear the thought of starting a new game to do it all over again.

Best to wait for the full release to see if they are addressed, especially if you aren't getting a discounted price
