It looked promising when i looked at it. After some 80 hours playing i left it with utter disgust.....
One of the most amazing bugs i've ever encountered in any game i encountered in this game as well when i first saved my game and to go sleep after some 16 hours of straight game time. The next morning when i loaded the game something bugged hard and fast in my face. 2 very substantial countries in the world had gone missing namely the USA and China that i found more then a little odd but thought oh well this may prove interesting scenario. I then saved the game and loaded again and now Mexico decided to disappear too and suddenly Canada was HUGE.
Now i did mention i played this quite a long time but to be honest that isnt exactly hard as you can do the most amazing this while playing this game. Like go shopping for an hour or two and quite possibly 3-4 months in game had gone past at the fastest game pace, this ultimately led to me playing on my PDA while waiting for the game to actually move.
Now as a native swede i decided to shockingly play sweden and decided to work my national debt off. I very quickly realized i needed to start producing stuff to sell to the rest of the world. However as i was doing this energy consumtion surged beyond reasonable or atleast understandable soon my native sweden looked like a huge power plant and it was still not enough.
Now i got a bit tired of all of this and finally got rid of the national debt and started focusing my country to get new warfare technology so i could test the combat aspect of the game i then noticed that my target (estonia) was allied with everyone more or less in the game and quite possible a few alien races as well. All things considered i had built my own alliances with lots of places in the world not to mention formed a grand scandinavian alliance (something that has not happened since the 1500s some time) so i thought oh well lets get at this. I then chose to declare war upon the unsuspecting estonian nation which i had handidly not made any alliances with in the past by some strange reason.....
I then must admit i found the result somewhat disturbing every country in the world decided to declare war on me and i quit the game before any of those previously mentioned aliens would hear about it too. Even the supposedly allied countries decided to declare war on me. Altough i rather enjoyed some parts of this game it appealed to me like a slow sim city game i may wait a while before i try playing it again maybe in 2020 or so they may have fixed all the things that is wrong with it.
In conclusion i doubt i have played a buggier game since hmmm Elder scrolls : Daggerfall but that was a lot more fun to play and were quite inventive in game play in comparison to most games at the time. I am however serious that this game has to be the slowest game i have ever laid my hands on it made the old Harpoon 2 game look like a formula 1 car. This game would probably been faster if they made it turn based in fact.
