Great Buy at the Price
Yes, this is a fine game, and I do recommend it. If ever you pined for deep turn-based strategy that will soak up everything your melon can give it, you are about to get what you asked for. I am very critical with my reviews, *because* I do not write for the game or its developers, I write for those like me who need to know what they are about to plunk down money for. Just finished my first 300-turn grand campaign as the Shang on normal difficulty. The game is absurdly difficult and wonderfully fun. I can't go into that much because GoG cannot afford to squander so many ASCII chars per game review, lol. The game's tight and beautifully undistracting interface is so close to exactly right, yet has a couple of glaring flaws that really get to be a drag after a few dozen turns. If you are in a city screen and click another city on the city tab, you move to that city, cool. If you are far afield and click an event msg, you go to the site of that event, cool. If you are in a city screen and click an event msg, nothing happens. Until you travel the width of the screen to click a back button to escape the city screen. This happens a dozen times a turn sometimes, and would cause Mahatma Ghandi to twitch. Really, the back button is absurdly out of place in the lower rt corner; it is always a long slog from whatever you are doing when you need it. Yes, you can use the escape button on the keyboard instead, unless your non-mouse hand happens to be holding a coffee mug, petting your tiger, or tightly clutching your carry-on at the terminal. Together, those two cost a star. This is turn-based strategy, not a shooter: I do not spend the game with both hands on the kybd. If the Grand Campaign is going to be one 300-turn scenario, then the Custom Game option needs to be much better supported and capable. There's not much customizing to it, and the Help dwindles from meh to crickety silence in the map editor. I'll be looking for more on that, and returning to update. Gotta go play!
