I spent lot of time with this game and it was good time... I still have a retail box in my collection, bought in cheap series.
I consider myself as patient player and not get easy thrown away or bored by any game and I must say this game had great potencial. But most of players doesn't see it at first contact with game. It's not some simple nice game and propably you will spend more time in 2D overview planning all your actions than in 3D watching details.
I get immersed into this game from the beginning. Are you ready to try yourself in this world of political intrigue?
