Date: 1999-12-14 Cumbersome to say the least I thought Civ 2 was slow to play when you got up in the advanced stages but this takes the cake. It's also very bloated on my hard drive. The interface and the game play is cumbersome and missing a lot of *autopilot* features that would help things a lot (if there is a city governor, you wouldn't know it by looking) Nice units and maps but the tech logic seems spurious. Wait for this game to hit the Sales Bin of your local walmart (or here if the animal exists ;-)) and don't pay full price.
Date: 1999-11-10 Feel very different from CivII If your looking for CivIII then this isn't it. Completely different feel to the game, such that even as an MAJOR fan of CivII, I have not liked this at all. Game play seems slower.
On the good side the game adds new units with new powers, new givernments etc.
