This game is a let down and I really expected better of Sid Meirs game. It is boring and way overly complicated. :(

I bought this game hearing the buzz of great reviews, and ended up bored and let down. Very letdown. The game is overly complicated, the handbook is long and useless, the other leaders, no matter what, will attack you eventually unless you force yourself through the mind bending diplomacy feature and manage (through a miracle) to get an alliance going. The obnoxious AI will settle your lands, but if you do the same, they get really ticked off, almost to the point of declaring war. You have to go through every single existing unit to end a turn, making large armies painful. It took me 5000 years to train a force of bow men. The cluttered Word Document style interface is one of the greatest let downs of all. Its A GAME, so make it look like that Sid! Overall, this game was a huge let down.
