While Theocracy was developed some time ago, even in it's time the game was a little sub-standard. The graphics weren't as good as other games of a similar genre. The tutorials were good to show you how to play in each province but didn't show enough of the empire management side Starting out it's very easy to forget that there are opponents out there building up just like you and they start with a great deal more than you. You're fighting a losing battle from the start, you play as a group of slaves that led a rebellion and created their own clan. Making alliances is very expensive so you have no friends, the enemy is on your doorstep and you have limited resources. Unless you cheat you find it incredibly difficult to survive for more than a few decades. But apart from a few debilitating disadvantages this game plays well and brings me hours of fun.
