Didn't know controlling an Empire could be so much work

The marketing team at Eidos did an excellent job with the box cover, the screen shots and the description of the game. However the game is exactly what is advertised nothing more, this I think is the downfall of this game. The plan is simple you have resources lying around, now make money to buy more items to make even more money. The main problem is your given a set time to finish in any of the numerous scenarios which is adequate but once the time is up or the goal complete there is no reason to continue playing. Setting the trade routes can be repetitive and frustrating. The option are not very well thought out and requires some practice. The graphics are nothing special, sounds effects as well.
