IMO the only thing preventing the game from going out of alpha and becoming production ready is the stuttering it suffers when the number of units in the game become very large. In fact, if you play it with less players or lower population limit you don't see any reason why the game is still labeled as alpha.

The game is CPU bound, but not because of graphics.

Originally posted by riklaunim View Post0 AD is an example of a single core bound game. The more units move the sloppy the game becomes - and it's clearly visible that only one core is at 100% and other "do nothing". Even few/one unit that can't reach it destination - that recalculates path over and over can screw the speed of the game.

CPU bound: Absolutely, but they have made performance improvements, and it's more playable now than the early alphas – if the game suddenly started stuttering, that's how you knew the AI was coming for an attack!

I try really hard to like this game, but I can't. The units seem relatively small and hard to quickly identify visually. If you run at lower res or zoom in, the view of surrounding terrain/units is compromised.
