plain fun...and it grows in you
i say this because
1) you really need to think how you are going to bring your civilization...you need to know how to defend it....how to bring it up and what are you goin to focus on
2) its an extremly busy game..you will be thinking all the time....what to build next..what religion you want your civilization to follow...financial problems....which other civilizations you have to ally with as you need them to help you get what you want.
3)every second of the game...you have a feeling of just blasting away your enemies. it is really up to the players way of gaming. if the gamer wants peace until modern era. then you have to be friendly with other civilizations . if you are a dominating person. every second of the game , you will jst feel like blasting all your enemies in you way!!!!
SO this is a really cool game ... real time strategy with lots of thinking...lots to manage...and you wont get bored of it . !!!..well see you online...and you will see what im made of ....training for 3 months!!!
