I personally consider this one of the greatest games i've ever played. Despite the graphics, I found still found this game to be engaging. Firstly I will say that the music has made this game memorable to me. At times the music is warlike, other times sad and sometimes even mystical--- very good mood music and soundtrack. Aside from the music there are many enjoyable moments to be found and there is also a pretty complex stratagy to the game. The player needs to research technology and after researching it, is able to construct all sorts of hideous, scary, and powerful things. Some such things are: plague bombs which can be unleashed upon the enemy players on their planets, space bombers(Cadiz Dreadnought) which can bombard units on planets from above, assassins, heavily armoured legions and many more. One other thing that makes this game enjoyable is the art that is found for many unit drawings and events where horrible things unfold. Overall this is a very great game which has a very perfect formula. People should consider investing time into this game to actually get anywhere. SOME NOTES TO REMEMBER are: 1,there are problems running this game on XP 2, It is possible to listen to the game cd in the cd player as a soundtrack. 3, there is a slow down in play time after playing the game for a long time because alot of things need to be calculated but downloading the 1.4 patch speeds the game up a bit.
