Most frustrating game on the planet
It's way too hard!
You start of with stone-age people, then create cities and war troops, research technologies. Everything seems to go very smoothly, your empire grows and you are quickly the best civilization both in war, technology, cash and space-race. Then in the final 40 rounds Frederick the fat wins a diplomatic victory because the game is designed for you to lose! You are compared to Dan Quayle obviously the worst leader in history, well that's what the game says anyways and you realize you have just wasted 4 hours of your life.
Do not buy this game! Instead play command & conquer, warcraft, starcraft or some other strategy game. This game is for losers, literally!
