WOW

OK I thought I'd been playing the game but the more forum posts I read the more I realise I've barely been scratching the surface intact I've been more like a cave man with a IPad! There is just so much to the game and I'm realising why I'm getting to turn 90 with hardly any progress just trying to fix the latest crisis which keep happening because I have had no idea what I'm doing even though I thought I had the bas ics, I didn't \ don't even have them it seems😁

What a game, actually game is to frivolous a word for this masterpiece.

Agreed - I just started playing and the more I learn and get into the details the more surprised I am by the depth.

Agreed - I've been playing since the first release (what was it, back in June?) and I still feel like I'm a novice just getting into the game. The systems are so deep and intertwined it takes a lot of time invested figuring it out - but, if you're into that sort of depth the investment is well worth it as the game keeps giving. It is by far my favorite computer war-game of all time.

I'm glad I bought it, although to be honest I don't play very much. Feels as if every turn (or for that matter several times a turn) I have to go back to the manual, or try digging through forums, to figure out something that surely shouldn't be so difficult... More an observation than a complaint Ultimately the best way to learn is by doing, as is with most things in life.

One huge plus for the game, unlike pretty much everything new these days it actually runs on my laptop! Drives me up the wall how programmers seem to revel in raising system requirements as high as they can. It's like a car designer boasting about how each new model has even lower mileage than the last.

A-ha of the day: Realizing that a diplomatioc victory is easier on some maps than military conquest. Offer Protection and Unification are strong cards!
