Wolves, Werewolves & Woes

[bkelly17]

I am taking the time and energy to post here, because I wanted to point something out that prevented myself and a friend (both huge fans of the original game) from purchasing KB:tL.

Playing an in store demo for around 15-20 mins, I went into an area with lots of wolves and werewolves. Wolves being the speedy creatures that they are, always went first, and always used an ability that made me lose complete control of all of my troops. I then spent 8-10 minutes watching my troops defend, while the weaker ranged troops were systematically destroyed by the other army. On top of that, even when the last enemy had been killed, after massive losses, I watched my remaining troops suddenly stop defending, and aggressively destroy the one group that had been enraged (or whatever it was).

This is: 1) incredibly unfair 2) unbelievably frustrating 3) Totally illogical as a video game function (who wants to watch the cpu play itself?) and 4) the reason I can not purchase this game.

KB:tL may be an awesome game. This may be a totally isolated incident, and the rest of the game may be completely different. But I can tell you 2 potential customers that won't ever know that. To have something that infuriating 15 mins into the game is just bad design and implementation.
