That, and the HIGH Level of the enemies you face! I remember in The Legend, when I first met Necromancers or Ancient Vampires and Death Knights, it was a moment of awe, seeing those imposing creatures and wondering "can I beat those with my army of level 1-3 units?" This 'magic' is gone now when you run into them at every second turn. It's like if in Diablo, you'd run into balrogs and black knights in the very first catacomb, instead of in hell.

The game progresses too soon. It throws you into the thick of things too fast. I want to experience the game slowly. In AP, on the first island you were limited to low-level Human units, Dragonflies and Snakes, and that was fun - because you also faced similar enemies. Remember that first - very clever trap, btw - fight with your first dragon, where you are trapped in a cave and see that big green coming at you? Now, that was an "OMG!" moment... Here, you basically run into a mini-Kalador boss at the end of the first island. Anticlimatic.

I actually wish we had a working editor and people could start and make their own KB campaigns... 'cause I feel some people could do it better.
