If you've never played this type of game, I advice you not to because it will literally suck the time out of your life. I picked this game up and I have been addicted to it ever since. It is such a challenging game but once you get the flow of the game, it is really hard to put it away. Because their are so many different ways to play this game whether you want to be a warmonger, a peaceful diplomat, or your one of those people seeking to launch a space ship to Alpha Centauri, this game will offer all kinds of challenges for any level. One of the best things about this game is the re playability. You're gonna find yourself playing the game over and over trying to see what fits your type of gameplay. I highly recommend this game.
