I found AoC fun for a few hours but the gameplay needs balancing. Knights with 2 handed swords do almost all the killing. Archery needs some kind of feedback, because 90% of the time you don't know where your arrows went. Arrows are basically invisible, they fly slowly, they drop fast, so aiming is mostly guesswork. And they don't do much damage anyway. Archers are basically a nuisance instead of the killing machines they should be. Footmen are good when you get used to sprinting behind knights but one swing of a knight's sword pretty much ends it for you, since you get damaged even when you block. There is no way to heal up. So pretty soon every game becomes clumps of knights hacking at each other.
The models and textures are great and the maps are well thought out. I like the story-ish feel to them. Lots of potential here but I'm waiting until the next update to try again.
