What players say
Players are split on this 2007 grand strategy game. Some enjoy its simple turn-based gameplay while others find it boring and lacking a tutorial. A major issue is the game asking for a product key, making it unplayable for many. It also lacks modern display resolution support. Long-time players say the high price feels like a cash grab for abandonware.
