What players say

Players call this the peak of the series, praising its bird's-eye perspective and terraforming mechanics. The campaign starts relaxed but later missions divide players: some find them too time-sensitive and frustrating, while others say pausing removes any time pressure. Community-made maps are a big draw for long-term play.
