    The game makes me a wise man, but obstructed my study.

    The game makes me a wise man since it drives your brain as hard as it can be. You think about strategy, diplomacy, intelligences... many many detailed options. It makes me addicted and I know it is detrimental to my stud... Read Full Review

    The game I always wanted to play! Or so I thought... Despite some great features, there are simply too many bugs.
