The winner & still the city building champ!

One of the all time greats- now or then. I pulled it out again, started another career (my 4th) and am enjoying it all over again. The difficulty of missions is steadily harder reaching "really difficult" by the end, but the learning curve of the game basics is very simple. Like other great games it is ieasy to learn and very hard to master. The combat, while simple once you are in battles, takes long preperation to have any chance. I think it is even better than Pharoh, in which many of the later scenearios turn into "I'm just waiting for more stone to finish my monument." The only downsides to the entire game are: having to continually apease the Gods (with the patch you can take care of that) & the stupid path of merchants- people go to stores, not the other way around. All in all a great game.
