The game is not good for people who want to just spend time, It is designed for professional strategy gamers.

The game is very disappointing for a game of 2005 the camera controls are very bad, not only this yhe graphics are no good and remind me of Caesar 1! The plot isn't as bad though but requires a lot of your skill and time.
The tutorials are absent and thus you have to depend on your own skill of games as this..... Try it at a friends house and see if you can get used to the game before throwing money for it. the game could have been better if the camera controls, graphics and tutorials were not as lame as they are andif it had a multiplayer option. There is no point in buying the game just to spend time it needs a lot of time to get used to after aoe and warcraft.
Dont get it unless it is the only strategy game in the world left. the mouse sensitivity is also not quite in the sense that a little drag results in sweeping the whole screen away from you. though it can be adjusted through the menu, however it remains cumbersome. the requirements of the game are also quite high for its time and
