If I didn't get this game for free I'd be so mad.
So there is less and less a feeling of agency to this game, due to the mission mechanics you're basically on rails with this game.
The battle screen mechanics have gone down hill considerably. Ive shifted my whole army after thinking Ive only selected and moved one unit and hence lost the entire battle and its usually a done campaign at that point.
There use to be a flash mechanic so when the units were engaged you could flash the battle field so you can see how the two armies are mashed up, now you have a combat screen which really isnt very helpful.
Bad game, glad it was free.
