For a game released in 2000, this game has very few of the features one would expect from a game descended from the civilization series. For starters, there isn't even any music, though this is probably an oversight with GOG as there is an option for music. The game is overly complicated, so much that after playing Civilization 3,4, and Alpha Centuari, I can barely figure out how to do things. In addition, though it may sound odd, the game is also simplistic . There are only Ancient, Medieval, Industrial, Modern, and 2 future ages. While this may sound like many at first, there are few units for each age, and no unique units or anything to set the nations apart. The animation and Graphics are good for their time, but the Future units are very poorly designed and look tacky. Overall, It's a very poor game that should be avoided in favor of Civilization 3, or if you are into science fiction and future ages, Alpha Centuari.
