Regarding Ancestors Legacy. So far I can say its very enjoyable in campaign mode. The economical and build part while downgraded in comparison to other games works actually very well. Skirmish itself is not really enjoyable cause it has issues from old RTS games like enemy magically rebuilding buildings while you occupy their base and there are no enemy troops there. Its basically one of those things that never made sense in RTS games. So until you destroy every enemy buildings in the base (which is not a house) they will keep rebuilding constantly.
So skirmish is a slugfest, a game of attrition that repeats itself constantly especially since you are limited with manpower aka up to ten units. So if you have to defend against a bigger enemy attack you have to do with units cause you cant build defensive buildings or fortifications to create choke points. Its all down to movement of units.
So the game excells in some parts in the other its not so good.
But don't get me wrong. Its fun just some parts make it a slugfest.
