i have invested in every installment so far.. and they keep getting better and better until now..the 3d is hard to get used to in this one it doesnt feel right i know its just going with the times but i would have rather had a bit of retro with the game than a bit the 'now'. The map is shambolic not only isi confusing bt it just leaves the map looking messy and makes you not want to explore.

The difficulties go from easy.. to easy to how can i win?? The computer always seems to be one step ahead and moe advanced than you can ever seem to be..

How ever this game is still enjoyable ransacking cities teal technology and creating your own empire can be great fun even though you subjects dont speak a word of english.

There alot of civilizations to chose from which makes the game a bit better but i must say that i enjoyed the older versions of the game alot more.
