As for all of the gripes and (somewhat infantile) comments I have read here, I can only say that if your idea of an empire-building game means building 10 huts in a field and then clicking and dragging your units to send the off into some click-fest battle a la Warcraft or Age of Empires, then maybe this is a little out of your realm of interest. As for comparisons against Civ: Call to Power, what are you people on? I bought that piece of crud and have never been so disappointed in my life. Sure, there were a couple of neat ideas, but the end result left me feeling a little empty... Although you can stack units and use them as one entire army, the pacing of the game is so off that it's virtually impossible to keep up with eras... I always ended up with a number of different eras of units combined into one... not really much of an effect on the gameplay, just poorly conceived. The basic problem tho is Call to Power just isn't that much fun to play... and I never experienced that "Just one more turn" syndrome that Civ fans knows all to well. This is a complex game for grown-ups (and some very bright kids)... not mindless tedium with some loud explosions.

Ladies and gentlemen. I am here before you to defend a product that cannot defend itself from the many gamers that gave quite a biased review, had no expirience in gameplay of Sid's games, and the ignorant people just looking to vent at a game they don't understand. Before I do this let me explain my past with Civ games. My first Civ game was colonization. I was 11 at the time and the box looked pretty cool. I got home and loaded it into my 166Mhz 32RAM Win95 computer. I was overwhelmed by the games main premise: a game where you take turns? Slowly I began to learn, then master the game. I had no idea that there were other Civs out there, and that this would be the beginning of a long addiction that I couldn't shake off. I am the proud owner of what I consider the "cream of the crop" civ games. My collection includes Colonization, Civ2, Civ2 Gold, Civ3, and Call to Power 2. Now for the review.
