This game took me right from the start. Was totally unique and fun. The amazing ammount of strategies was nice to see and the difficulty of winning by a military conquest would require an all out military strategy from the start. This game was awsome. A little easy on the low settings, really hard on the high settings. The diffrent victory conditions are great for it allows all types of players a way to win, and in esseence gives this game increadble replay value. THe high score list the online play is intresting tho a bit dull at lower levels and a bit overwheliming in later years. If you dont play this game you will be missing out someday. A bit of a resource hog. An amazing soundtrack (I even aquired the soundtrack for me to lestin to when I wish to relax) Simply put this one of my all time favorite strategy games..
