"A mad 'Sims' dash of a game"
This 'Sims' style game was suprisingly addictive! Fours ways to win, with many different empires with their own leaders, cultures, and benefits. Can be played again and again. My only problem with the game is that in many respects it is limited time-wise (turns). Trying to upgrade everything fully, and to research everything before invading the world, I was told I had "5 turns before the leader wins by domination"...bugger. didn't get to smite anyone after all that time. But it does add to the difficulty of the game. With various difficulties, and many preset campaign modes, this game has hours of entertainment in a form that is not overly time consuming.
