I've managed to lose track of time completely playing Republic. Totally absorbing game which immerses you in the land of Novistrana. Plus points are the fantastic accompanying music, graphical details and the infinite combinations of characters and their actions daily (I've restarted three times while learning and the AI has been different every time). Minus points are the very steep learning curve (the tutorial is useless, reading the manual is a must) and I've encountered one complete lockup and some dodgy mouse behaviour plus it does seem to take a while to load and save. On balance though, an excellence purchase - my favourite so far this year.
